Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
The prospective student will be exposed to a thriving research environment working on an exciting project that aims to provide critical new insight into signal transduction pathways and their relevance to human ageing. The lead applicant’s lab is actively investigating mechanisms of mTOR signalling and the student will work alongside three experienced postdoctoral scientists thus benefitting from close supervision, mentoring and guidance. The student will be trained in state-of-the-art cell and molecular biological techniques, fluorescence and electron microscopic imaging, quantitative mass spectrometry and associated data analysis. Importantly, the student will gain competence in all aspects of sample handling and data-analysis for each of these techniques. Additionally, the prospective student will acquire essential transferable skills and will be expected to present at international conferences and publish in high profile scientific journals. Together, this training programme is an exceptional opportunity for a talented graduate to assemble a strong research portfolio and begin a successful career in life sciences.
