Apply for 4 Year MRes/PhD

Deadline for applications: Monday 22nd March 2010

Interviews: w/c 19th April 2010

CoMPLEX is UCL's centre for interdisciplinary science that brings life and medical scientists together with mathematicians, physical scientists, computer scientists and engineers to tackle the challenges arising from complexity in biology and medicine. The four-year interdisciplinary MRes/PhD programme run by CoMPLEX, trains students to work at the interface between mathematics, engineering, physics and the life sciences. In this integrated programme, the first year is an MRes year during which students are trained in biological complexity, mathematical modeling of biological systems and advanced experimental techniques. After successful completion of the MRes year students typically continue for a three year period of research leading to a PhD.

PhD interests lie within these areas:

• Biomolecular Mechanisms
• Integration of Cellular Function
• Physiological and Neural Systems
• Evolution and Dynamics of Populations
• Systems Biology
• Cardiovascular Research
