University of Nottingham & Rothamsted Research BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership

Four year PhDs available in the research area Molecules, Cells and Organisms - Starting October 2019

The University of Nottingham, one of the world’s best universities, distinguished for its commitment to world-class research has collaborated with Rothamsted Research (RRes) and a number of partners organisations to deliver an integrated four-year Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). This programme provides PhD students with an excellent training in Biotechnology and Biological Sciences.

Applications are invited to join this innovative four-year PhD training programme with research opportunities across the biological spectrum, from Molecules to Cells and Organisms (MCO). Addressing research challenges in biosciences requires the application of experimental techniques drawn from the disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics. The studentship programme will therefore provide cutting-edge training at the interfaces of these disciplines. The research projects cover both prokaryotic and eukaryotic (plant and animal, including human) systems and use experimental and theoretical approaches in areas such as:

Biochemistry and Biophysics
Synthetic and Analytical Chemistry
Chemical and Structural biology
Molecular and Cell biology
Physiology and Pharmacology
Tissue and Protein engineering
Genetics, Evolution and Developmental biology
Neuroscience and Behavioural Science
Population Biology and Ecology
Mathematical modelling of biological systems
Antimicrobials and Antimicrobial Resistance

More than 50 Research projects are available across a range of topics and will be supervised by academic staff from across multiple disciplines, including Biosciences, Chemistry, Engineering, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Medicine, Pharmacy, Psychology and Veterinary Medicine and Science. Consortium partners include: Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) National Industrial Biotechnology Facility; Crops for the Future Research Centre in Malaysia; Diamond Light Source; East Malling Research; and Research Complex at Harwell.
