Studentship available

[David Fell]

Structural analysis of metabolism on a genomic scale.
A PhD studentship available from October 2004

This is a BBSRC studentship awarded by the Engineering and Biological
Systems Committee. As the topic is in a priority area, the PhD stipend is 
£2000 pa higher than the standard grant, at £12,500 in 2004/5. The full 
award is only available to students meeting the BBSRC's eligibility 
requirements, which, with some exceptions, limits the award to those 
normally resident in the UK (the link below gives further details). The 
project is interdisciplinary, requiring a background in metabolic 
modelling, microbial metabolism, molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and 
programming in a high-level language (Python). Candidates should possess 
qualifications or experience relevant to at least two of these areas and be 
prepared to undergo training in the others.

The studentship is within Professor David Fell's Cell Systems Modelling 
Group (see http://mudshark.brookes.ac.uk).
