UK: PhD Studentship in Bioactivity and Target Analysis of Metabolites, University of Cambridge

Overview

A PhD studentship is available in the group led by Professor Robert Glen in the Unilever Centre for Molecular Sciences Informatics as part of the recently launched research programme on analyzing and predicting metabolism, metabolic space and bioactivity spectra of metabolic compounds.

The project will investigate the biological roles of metabolites, based on publicly available and internal databases, as well as the structure-activity relationships on multiple protein targets based on large bioactivity databases. While continuously more knowledge about human metabolites (as well as those of other organisms) is being revealed, detailed understanding of the biological processes modulated by a given chemical compound is largely lacking, which is the aim of this project.

Eligible Candidates

Applicants should have obtained, or expect to obtain, at least the equivalent of a II.1 UK honours degree in chemistry, biology or a related scientific discipline, and must have a good background knowledge in both the life sciences and either data mining or computer science (or a related subject). Familiarity with data mining of chemical structures or systems biology is desirable but not a prerequisite. Owing to funding restrictions, applicants must be either UK or European Union citizens.


The post is available from October 2010.

Application requirements

Applications should include a CV, contact details for two professional referees, and should be sent to Professor Robert Glen, Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 1EW (email: rcg28@cam.ac.uk)

Quote Reference: MA06479, Closing Date: 9 April 2010
