PhD StudentshipsSchool of Biomedical Sciences
£13,290 stipend
Closing Date: 24 April 2009
The University of Liverpool is able to offer 2 BBSRC funded 4-year PhD studentships starting in October 2009. Studentships incorporate an initial 1 Year MRes followed by a three year PhD, subject to satisfactory progress.
The role of Erk5 kinase in cell biology (Dr. Michael Cross, Dr. Bettina Wilm, Dr. Chris Goldring)
Our groups investigate tumour angiogenesis, developmental biology and molecular pharmacology. The successful applicant will gain broad experience in each of these areas before pursuing a PhD research project investigating the role of the Erk5 kinase in endothelial cell and hepatocyte proliferation and differentiation. Informal enquiries to Dr. Michael Cross (m.j.cross@liv.ac.uk)
Compartmentalisation of signalling networks (Dr. Ian Prior, Prof. Michael Clague Dr. Sylvie Urbé)
Our groups investigate cell signalling using molecular cell biology, proteomic and nanoscale imaging approaches. The successful applicant will gain broad experience in each of these areas before pursuing a PhD research project investigating how subcellular spatial organisation regulates the output of families of key signalling proteins. Informal enquiries to Dr. Ian Prior (iprior@liv.ac.uk).
