1. National Heart and Lung Institute Foundation

3 year PhD Studentships 2020

Applications open now

Applications are invited for three 3-year PhD studentships at the National Heart and Lung Institute, funded by the National Heart and Lung Institute Foundation (Charity 1048073) to start in October 2020. The studentships will be funded for three years, on a bursary of £18,000 per annum and tuition fees at the Home/EU rate. There is no provision for overseas student fees.

These studentships are part of the NHLI Foundation’s investment to establish a Centre for Early Airways Disease.

Projects are offered in all aspects of airway disease – with particular focus on understanding the mechanism underlying development of asthma or COPD, across a variety of disciplines including bioengineering, cell biology, chemistry, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, molecular biology, pharmacology, physics, physiology and public health.

These NHLI Foundation research studentships enable graduates with excellent honours degrees to undertake a three-year training programme that includes a research project plus training in research methods and transferable key skills. Students would be expected to hold a relevant Masters degree.

NHLI and Imperial College London provide excellent opportunities for postgraduate research student training including research seminars, journal clubs and an exciting collaborative environment.

All students will belong to the Graduate School, which provides a comprehensive Transferable Skills Programme and has received the Times Higher Award for Outstanding Support for Early Careers Researchers in 2006 and 2008.

How to Apply

Applicants must hold a first or upper second-class honours degree or UK equivalent as well as a Masters in an appropriate subject from a recognised academic institution.

To apply please send to NHLI’s PGR Office nhlipgr.team@imperial.ac.uk:

• a CV with your grades clearly listed

• a one page personal statement

• the names and addresses of at least two academic referees

The closing date for applications is Tue 30th June 2020. Please note that candidates must fulfil College admissions criteria.

2. PhD Candidate Bionanotechnology and Immunology, Leiden

Leiden University Medical Center

Department of Cell and Chemical Biology

Leiden

Netherlands

Supervisor：Dr T Sharpe

Application Deadline：Friday, May 29, 2020

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Project Description

The lab of Thom Sharp is looking for a PhD candidate for research on developing a new class of immunotherapeutic to treat infectious diseases and cancer. Are you looking for an interesting research opportunity? Then this might be it!
As a PhD candidate you will join the lab of Thom Sharp working at the interface between bionanotechnology and immunology, to develop a new class of immunotherapeutic to treat infectious diseases and cancer. The project involves design and synthesis of DNA nanotemplates conjugated to cyclic peptides that are capable of activating the human immune system. Peptides will be computationally designed and synthesised using solid-phase peptide synthesis in collaboration with the Boyle lab at Leiden University. Design of DNA nanotemplates and characterisation, including high-resolution (cryo-)electron microscopy, biophysical techniques, and cell-killing assays will be performed in the Sharp lab.

Profile

You have a degree in biochemistry, chemistry, or a similar field with a strong biological background. You will work with peptide synthesis, DNA nanotechnology, (cryo-)electron microscopy, and proteins and cells of the human immune system to understand more about how our innate immune system is activated.

The offer

Appointment should lead to a PhD thesis and is for a maximum duration of four years. Your salary is € 2,422 gross per month in the first year, progressing to € 3,103 gross per month in the fourth year based on a full time position (scale PhD students of the Collective Labor Agreement for University Hospitals).

Working at the LUMC

The Sharp lab comprises the BioNanopatterning group at the Department of Cell and Chemical Biology where we perform fundamental research into the human immune system using bionanotechnology, structural biology, cryo-electron microscopy, and develop techniques for super-resolution light microscopy. The LUMC has excellent facilities for electron microscopy, and is closely affiliated with the national centre for electron microscopy (NeCEN, ~1 km away). The department also has facilities available for molecular biology and chemistry, and the Sharp lab is closely affiliated with the Chemistry department at Leiden University.

A detailed description of this position can be found on http://www.lumc.nl (select ‘job opportunities’). If you have any questions or would like more information about this position, please contact Thomas Sharp, PI Department of Cell and Chemical Biology, telephone +31 (0)71 526 94 99.
References can be requested as part of the procedure.

How to apply

If you are interested in this position, please complete the application form by May 29th, 2020 at the latest. You can also apply through the website http://www.lumc.nl/vacancies.

4. Nanomaterials for the Next Generation of Functional and Smart Fluids

Cardiff University

Cardiff School of Engineering

Cardiff

United Kingdom

Supervisor：Dr D Zabek
Dr J Bartley
Prof Gao Min

Application Deadline：Sunday, May 31, 2020

Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Project Description

Background:
Functional-, or smart materials naturally respond to external forces by adapting their mechanical, electrical, thermal and magnetic properties to the environment. These properties can be used for self-healing skins recovering from mechanical damage or
self-charging electronics harvesting thermal energy. Recent advances in this field led to a magnetic fluid exhibiting permanent magnetisation. This fundamentally new magnetic behaviour defines a new class of magnetic fluids with the potential to develop the next generation of functional materials and fluids for real world engineering applications.
Aims and method:
This funded PhD research project aims to develop magnetic nanomaterials for the next generation of functional fluids. Primarily, this research is experimental and commences with fabricating magnetic materials and characterising their properties/applications. In addition, this research will modify nanomaterials for use in energy generation and storage. The PhD student will receive training on state-of-the-art material characterisation techniques and cross-disciplinary support from collaborators, whilst obtaining specialised knowledge and professional skills in the fields of materials and energy.
Tuition fees at the home/EU rate (£4,370 in 2019/20) and an annual stipend equivalent to current Research Council rates (approx. £15,009 stipend for academic year 2019/20), plus support for travel/conferences/consumables.
Overseas applicants must be able to self-fund the difference between the Home/EU and Overseas fees (£20,950 per annum in 2019/20) each year. Please indicate how you will cover this in your application.
Please contact Dr Daniel Zabek (ZabekD@Cardiff.ac.uk) to informally discuss this opportunity.
Applicants should submit an application for postgraduate study via the Cardiff University webpages 

(http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/research/programmes/programme/engineering ) including;

• an upload of your CV
• a personal statement/covering letter
• two references (applicants are recommended to have a third academic referee, if the two academic referees are within the same department/school)
• Current academic transcripts

Applicants should select Doctor of Philosophy (Engineering), with a start date of July or October 2020.
In the research proposal section of your application, please specify the project title and supervisors of this project and copy the project description in the text box provided. In the funding section, please select "I will be applying for a scholarship / grant" and specify that you are applying for advertised funding, reference DZ-PSE-2020.

Funding Notes

Start Date: July/October 2020.
3.5 years Full Time.
This studentship is open to Home, EU or International candidates.
Candidates should hold or expect to gain a first class degree or a good 2.1 (or their equivalent) in Material Science, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry or a related subject.
Desired is experimental experience in the field of material synthesis.
Applicants whose first language is not English will be required to demonstrate proficiency in the English language (IELTS 6.5 or equivalent).
