Advanced
Microscopy PhD studentship
at Cancer Research UK's London Research Institute
A four-year PhD studentship is available for a multi-disciplinary and
innovative project at the interface between physics and biology to
start in September 2008 in the Lymphocyte Interaction Laboratory.
For more information about the Laboratory see:
http://science.cancerresearchuk.org/research/loc/london/lifch/batistaf/
The project will focus on developing advanced microscopy
techniques in order to provide a better understanding of how the cells
of the immune system are activated. It is anticipated that this
research will utilise either cutting-edge multi-photon or total
internal reflection microscopy (Y.R. Carrasco and F. D. Batista, 2007,
Immunity 27:160-171, Depoil et al. Nature Immunology, 2008 9:63-72,
B. Treanor and F. D. Batista FD Current Opinion in Immunology, 2007,
19:476-83 Review). The successful applicant will be co-supervised by
DR F. D. Batista, Senior Group Leader and Dr Andreas Bruckbauer,
Microscopy Developer.
We are looking for a highly motivated individual with an excellent
first degree in the physical sciences. A comprehensive knowledge of
optics and computer programming together with a keen interest in
biology are essential.
Cancer Research UK is the world's leading independent organisation
dedicated to cancer research, spending more than £300 million a year
on research into treating, preventing and curing cancer and into the
basic biological mechanisms underlying the disease. The London
Research Institute (LRI) has over 45 research programmes led by some
of the world's foremost cancer researchers and covering the major
disciplines of cellular, developmental and molecular biology. Our
postgraduate students enjoy a supportive environment, challenging
projects and tailored training in transferable and generic skills,
which enable them to develop as independent scientists with good
career prospects.
