Full-time PhD Studentship in Microbiology - Discrimination of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
Faculty of Health & Life Sciences
Applications are invited for a fully funded three-year PhD studentship starting in October 2008. The studentship includes a bursary of £12,600 per annum (tax-free) for three years and all tuition fees.
Candidates should hold a good first degree (at least an Upper-Second Class or equivalent) in a relevant subject area.
Project: Discrimination of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
The emergence of antibiotic resistance in hospital-acquired infections represents a considerable burden to healthcare delivered globally. This research project aims to develop proteomic approaches (including MALDI-TOF-MS) for discrimination and characterisation of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Proteomic techniques, such as two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, will be used to identify biomarkers of antibacterial resistance on the surface of bacterial isolates. Candidates should have a strong interest in bacteriology and molecular biology. Laboratory based practical experience in microbiology, molecular biology and proteomic techniques would be an advantage.
Applications are welcome from citizens from the EU and those with overseas status as well as those from UK.
Candidates for whom English is not their first language should hold an English qualification at least equivalent to IELTS 6.5.
Enquiries should in the first instance go to the Research Office, De Montfort University, Leicester, LE1 9BH. Telephone: 0116 2506309. Web: http://www.dmu.ac.uk/research/index.jsp
Closing Date: 25th July 2008
An application form may be downloaded from: http://www.dmu.ac.uk/research/degrees/procedure.jsp
Applicants are requested to contact the office to receive a hardcopy admission pack and will need to provide a full CV with two supporting references. Please e-mail: researchstudents[a-t-]dmu.ac.uk or call (0116) 2506309 to receive further details.
