Bristol Centre for Systems Biomedicine
Doctoral Training Programme in Bioinformatics and Biomathematics
Bristol Centre for Systems Biomedicine represents an innovative
interdisciplinary doctoral
training programme offering fully funded 4 (1+3) year studentships, five
available in October 2009,
five available in 2010. Under the Medical Research Council Capacity
Building scheme, these
studentships have a £2K pa top up added to the standard stipend of £13K pa,
plus tuition fees
and travel/meetings allowance.
High calibre graduates from mathematical, engineering and computationally
related disciplines
with a strong interest in developing these skills and applying their
abilities to biomedical
research, will be trained in a structured and broad programme of relevant
short
courses, seminars, short (3x3month) projects, and a full PhD project.
Programme topics range from
population dynamics to the different 'omics' (e.g. genomics, proteomics)
and pathway and molecular applications.
It includes mathematical, statistical and genetic epidemiology,
evolutionary, behaviour and
mutation theory, evidence synthesis, decision sciences and trials, cell
signalling, omics technologies,
network inference, DNA, RNA and protein prediction and mathematical
modelling in neurophysiological
contexts.
In the first core foundation year, students will have a group base in
Oakfield House
http://www.bristol.ac.uk/university/maps/google-precinct/index.html.
The programme is led from the Department of Social Medicine with close
co-supervisory arrangements with the Departments of Mathematics,
Engineering Mathematics,
Computer Science and other groups from the medical faculties at the
University of Bristol.
The host departments all gained very high ratings in RAE2008. BCSBmed is
also closely
interlinked with five other MRC, Wellcome Trust and EPSRC doctoral training
centres
in Bristol.
