About the Project
Deadline: Rolling selection process. First round application closing date: May 6 2013. Second round closing date: July 1 2013
Stipend: £13,726 per annum
Start date: October 2013
This MRC funded project provides students with cutting-edge research opportunities in Medical Research. Projects will align with MRC strategic priorities, www.mrc.ac.uk
The renin angiotensin system (RAS), is crucial in the control of blood pressure regulation and volume homeostasis. Angiotensin (1-7), a biologically active peptide of the RAS, is thought to counteract the deleterious effects of AngiotensinII, through actions at a distinct G Protein coupled receptor, Mas. The role of this counter-regulatory arm of the RAS in acute stroke has yet to be extensively investigated. The studentship will use in vitro cell culture models to investigate the mechanistic effects of Ang (1-7). These studies will be complemented by in vivo and MRI studies in clinically relevant rodent models of stroke (permanent, transient, embolic with rt-PA) where effects of Ang (1-7) will be investigated during the first critical hours following stroke. This project will be one of the first to investigate the role of Ang (1-7) during acute stroke and will provide exciting and valuable insights into a novel therapeutic pathway for the treatment of acute stroke.

Applicant Instructions
These are 3.5-year PhD studentships and students should apply online here: http://www.gla.ac.uk/research/opportunities/howtoapplyforaresearchdegree/
Applicants will normally be expected to reside (or have residency) within the UK. EU nationals will have to demonstrate that they have spent the three years prior to application resident in the UK (this can include residence whilst undertaking undergraduate study). Applicants should have obtained, or expect to obtain a 2:1 or 1st class Honours degree in a relevant subject. The financial package will include a 3.5 year stipend, approved University fees, Research Training Support Grant and a conference allowance.
On the Programme of Study section of the application please select “MVLS PhD” from the drop down menu. On this same page please place the project title(s) within the free text area and note the project supervisor(s).
Please ensure that all supporting documents are uploaded at point of application, for example:
- Copy of Academic and Professional qualifications
- CV (including letter of application/personal statement)
- 2 x references
Further supporting documents are requested on the online applications system, and should be uploaded where relevant. General enquiries regarding the programme and application procedure should be directed to Alexis Merry: [Email Address Removed]
