PhD student Biostatistics (2×2 years) @ Hasselt University, Belgium

Description: PhD in Mathematics, applied to research in ‘Biostatistics and Bioinformatics’
The research topic consists of biostatistical applications to answer scientific questions in pharmaceutical discovery and development. Data coming from different phases in the pharmaceutical research will be available to focus on statistical method development for allometric scalling. Some of the data come from the area of pharmacokinetics, in-vitro and in-vivo experimentation including clinical trial data. The data of the different phases will have to be analyzed on an individual basis. However development of statistical methods to link the different phases to one another will also be an important part of the research. Statistical models that will be considered include : linear and non-linear mixed models, surrogate-marker methodology, multivariate projection methods and meta-analysis.
Requirements: Master degree in (Bio-)Statistics or an equivalent degree. Research experience is considered an advantage (e.g. by M.Sc. dissertation). Applicants should have a good knowledge of English. Presentation of TOEFL-results or an equivalent certificate of knowledge of English is

PhD Fellowship @ Glasgow -Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy & Biomedical Sciences, University of Strathclyde

Project Title: Regulation of protein function by post-translational modification

This  Position is available from 1st October 2011 in the research group of Dr Luke Chamberlain .Palmitoylation is an important post-translational modification that regulates protein trafficking and function. The aim of this project is to develop an understanding of DHHC protein regulation by screening for novel interacting proteins. The project will use a multi-disciplinary approach, including molecular biology (DNA cloning etc), biochemical, and confocal imaging techniques. The research of the Institute is represented by five main groups: * Biomedicinal chemistry and drug delivery * Cell biology * Infection, Immunity and Microbiology * Integrative mammalian biology * Pharmaceutical care and Public Health No Of Positions: This Department/School currently has 3 project(s) listed below.

Funding: The funding is available to citizens of a number of European countries (including the UK). In most cases this will include all EU nationals. However full funding may not be available to all applicants and you should read the full department and project details for further information.
