The Faculty of Engineering – EPSRC EngD Centre – Efficient Fossil Energy Technologies at The Nottingham University offers The Engineering Doctorate (EngD) Studentships for the year 2010/11 in UK
Applications are invited for a three year studentship to study the role of LINE-1 repetitive elements in the development of colorectal and breast cancer. The project will utilise molecular biology, biochemical and tissue culture techniques to investigate why LINE-1 become active in cancer cells and to determine whether their activation is sufficient to promote cell invasiveness. The successful student will be based at the University of Nottingham’s Medical School in Derby and will be expected to spend some time at the School of Biomedical Sciences in University Park, Nottingham.

The Institute of Neuroscience at The University of Newcastle offers The EPSRC PhD Studentships in in Vision Science: Illuminating Colour Constancy for the year 2010/11 in UK
The project’s aim is to understand how we see colours, and to make better colour images. It is funded by the EPSRC Information and Communication Technologies programme, and combines work at the interface between computing science, psychology, and computational vision. We will study the colour appearance of real objects under variable illumination, making use of (a) hyper spectral imaging (b) novel illumination generation and (c) behavioural measurements. Ultimately, the project will feed into colour correction algorithms for digital images. The project involves close collaboration with Professor Graham Finlayson in Computing Sciences at University of East Anglia.

The University of Newcastle offers The MRes/PhD Studentships in Mitochondrial Gene Expression in Health and Disease for the year 2010/11 in UK
Mitochondria are essential for the survival of mammalian cells. These organelles are involved in numerous critical functions including oxidative phosphorylation and the transduction of energy. It is, therefore, not surprising that mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with metabolic disorders, neurodegeneration and with the ageing process. To improve our understanding of how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to these processes it is crucial that we increase our knowledge of the basic molecular mechanisms that dictate healthy mitochondrial gene expression.

The School of Geography offers PhD Studenships in Integrating morphodynamics into flood inundation models for vulnerability assessments of populations living along large monsoonal rivers for the year 2010/11 at Southampton University in UK
River flooding of communities living in the floodplains of large world rivers is predicted to increase in recent climate change scenarios. Flooding destroys crops, damages infrastructure and imposes huge economic burdens on often less developed economies, contributing to a slow growth in development. Recent international programmes have tried to support floodplain communities alongside several large world rivers with studies on bank erosion and flood inundation and assessments of population vulnerability often linked with climate change scenarios (Gupta 2008; BRAHMATWIN 2007). A fundamental flaw with current approaches to flood risk management is the lack of inclusion of channel morphodynamics in the prediction of flood inundation characteristics. In large, island braided, sand bed rivers with long duration flood regimes, morphodyanmics are likely to be one of the most important controls on the flood processes over seasonal and decadal timescales as the channel adjusts to changes in both hydrology and sediment loads. River managers, consultant and academic practitioners and regional disaster planning authorities need to better understand the role of morphodynamics in controlling the spatial and temporal pattern of flooding and the resulting population movements alongside large multichannel rivers. In addition morphological change can have a major impact on the effectiveness of flood risk management activities. For effective flood risk management it is essential, therefore, to be able to make long-term predictions of river morphology.
