Overview
Applications are invited for a University of Plymouth PhD Studentship in the School and Biomedical and Biological Sciences. You will join one of the UKs premier laboratories on the dietary toxicology of nanoparticles, with a long history of dietary exposure studies on contaminants, especially metals. The overall aim of the study is to explore the mechanisms of nanoparticle (NP) uptake across the gut and relate this to the food and food chain risks to humans. The work will focus on TiO2 and some other nanometals, with the opportunity to learn perfused intestine techniques, intestinal cell culture, and the chance to use the data in the context of human health and environmental risk assessments. You will be an animal physiology or toxicology interested in metal uptake and the bioavailability of nanoparticles across the gut. You should have a good degree (2:1 or 1st class honours) or equivalent in an appropriate biosciences subject, or a relevant Masters or equivalent qualification.
Funding Notes:
This PhD studentship will start immediately for a fixed-term of three years. You will receive a stipend of approximately £13,290 per annum and tuition fees (approximately £3,475). The studentship will only fully fund those applicants who are eligible for Home/EU fees with appropriate qualification. Applicants eligible for overseas fees would have to cover the difference (approximately £9,275) between the Home/EU tuition fee and the tuition fee for an overseas student.
For an informal discussion, please contact Professor Richard Handy, School of Biomedical and Biological Sciences on 01752 584600 01752 584600 or email richard.handy@plymouth.ac.uk although applications must be made in accordance with the details shown below.
HOW TO APPLY FOR THIS POSITION:
General information about applying for a research degree at the University of Plymouth and application forms are available at http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/pghowtoapply or by contacting Catherine Johnson on catherine.johnson@plymouth.ac.uk
Applications should be sent direct to Miss Catherine Johnson (catherine.johnson@plymouth.ac.uk) Faculty of Science & Technology Research Office, University of Plymouth, PL4 8AA. Please include with the application, a covering letter and CV. Please note that previous applicants need not re-apply.
Shortlisted candidates may be asked to interview the following week. We regret that we may not be able to respond to all applications.
Closing date: 12 noon, Friday 2 July 2010
