PhD Research Project

Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship position funded by the Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, starting from 1 October 2012.

The successful candidates will join Professor Ming-Qing Du's research group and investigate the genetic bases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), with the aim to identify genetic markers valuable in disease prognosis and treatment prediction.

Applicants should have or expect to have an upper second honours BSc or MSc degree in biomedical science or a related subject. Experience in biomedical research is an advantage. The post-holder should be highly motivated, and keen to work within a multidisciplinary team.

Further information about the research group can be found at the group's website (http://www.path.cam.ac.uk/pages/du/). Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Ming-Qing Du (mailto:mqd20@cam.ac.uk)

If nominated for the studentship, the applicant will be expected to formally apply for admission as a graduate student with the Board of Graduate Studies and satisfy any conditions of admission that they set forth. Additional information may be found at: http://www.path.cam.ac.uk/graduate/prospective-graduate-students/making-an-application.html

All applicants must complete the application form (PA22) which can be downloaded from our website: http://www.path.cam.ac.uk/graduate/prospective-graduate-students/PA22-PK00209.docx. The PA22 and a copy of your CV should be emailed to graduate.studies@path.cam.ac.uk.
