Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Global climate change will affect all creatures on Earth, from microbes to mammals. However, how species adapt and acclimatise to a changing thermal environment remains poorly studied. The Pawar and Bell labs at Imperial College London, Silwood Park are seeking a candidate for a 4 year fully-funded BBSRC PhD Studentship to commence in October 2014. The student will combine experiments with theory to elucidate the limits to adaptation to different thermal regimes. The project will use a diverse collection of microbes (bacteria and protozoa) taken from natural environments to understand how species acclimatise and adapt to experimental manipulations of temperature over different timescales. The experimental component will be complemented with mathematical modelling of biochemical acclimation and adaptation.
This is an integrated 1 year MSc/MRes + 3 yr PhD studentship, with the MSc component being in Quantitative Biology at Silwood Park (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/lifesciences/postgraduate/courselist/quantitative-biology).
The studentship includes all fees, maintenance costs, and research expenses as set by the Research Councils for 2014-15.
Applications should include a CV, names and addresses of two academic referees and a cover letter. The application materials should be emailed as a single, merged pdf file to [Email Address Removed]. The application deadline is 31st January 2014, but applications will be considered as they are received
