Dear CCP4bb readers, a PhD position (starting in October 2015) is available in my laboratory (www.icr.ac.uk/alessandrovannini) at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR, Chelsea, London, UK), to undertake crystallographic, single particle electron microscopy analysis and biochemical analysis of large eukaryotic transcriptional complexes. We are particularly interested in studying macromolecular complexes that are involved in cancer development and several projects (which require different skills) are available.
Applications for PhDs are invited from talented graduates or final year undergraduates who hold or expect to gain a first or upper second class honours degree or equivalent, or a Masters degree, in a relevant subject. Successful candidates will undertake a four-year research training programme under the guidance of a supervisory team of our world-class researchers. Projects and their primary supervisors are listed below. Students receive an annual stipend, currently £21,000 per annum, as well as having fees and project costs paid for the four-year duration. The ICR is a college of the University of London and awards degrees of the University. Our studentships are funded from a range of sources, including Cancer Research UK Centre – a strategic partnership between Cancer Research UK, the ICR and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust which aims to enhance translational research –the Hensley Nankivell studentship fund, the FC Hunter studentship fund, and ICR core funding. How to apply: Full details about these studentship projects, and the online application form, are available on our website, at: www.icr.ac.uk/phds. Applications should be made online. Please ensure that you read and follow the application instructions very carefully. Closing date: Friday 6th March 2015 Best regards, Alessandro ************************************************** Dr. Alessandro Vannini Team Leader, Division of Structural Biology The Institute of Cancer Research Chester Beatty Laboratories 237 Fulham Road London, SW3 6JB United Kingdom Tel: +44 - (0)20- 7153 - 5557 Fax: +44 - (0)20- 7153 - 5457 Email: alessandro.vann...@icr.ac.uk www.icr.ac.uk/alessandrovannini **************************************************
