Three PhD studentships, with a stipend starting at £18,848, will be available. These also pay fees and research costs to the laboratory, and provide funds for travel to conferences or courses. Applicants should have, or expect to get, at least an upper second class degree (or equivalent) in any area of biological sciences. Physical science degrees with some biology components will also be acceptable. Non-UK applicants may apply.
The London Pain Consortium* runs a PhD Programme in Pain Research, supported by the Wellcome Trust. The next intake of students will be in September 2007. Students will spend the first year taking neurobiology and bioinformatics courses and learning a wide range of neuroscience techniques by doing three-month projects. At the end of the first year, students choose a full research project in pain, and a supervisor for the subsequent three years from Consortium and associated laboratories based at King's College London, University College London and Imperial College London. All PhD projects will involve collaborations between at least two internationally competitive and well-funded laboratories, and the topics cover the whole range of neuroscience related to pain mechanisms and their control: molecular biology; cellular mechanisms; integrated systems neuroscience; and human neurophysiology. The emphasis of the programme is to integrate these four approaches, so that students are equipped to undertake cutting-edge research that can be translated into a better understanding and treatment of acute and chronic pain. The programme has been running for three years, and the successful applicants will join a vibrant community of over 20 postgraduate and postdoctoral scientists who share resources and expertise, and benefit from the wide range of opportunities within the Consortium.
Further information is available at www.lpc.ac.uk To apply, e-mail your CV and statement of why you are interested in this PhD programme to Ms Vivien Cheah at vivien.cheah@kcl.ac.uk In addition, you must arrange for two referees to send references to the same address.
Closing date: 2 February 2007.
*Consortium members: A Dickenson, M Fitzgerald, S Hunt, M Koltzenburg, S McMahon, C Orengo, A Rice, J Wood.
