PhD project: Modelling the Evolution of Enzyme Catalysis

Supervisor: Dr John Mitchell, Biomolecular Sciences, University of St Andrews
funding details: Competition Funded Project – UK/EU Students only
closing date: 31 Jan 2010
Contact: jbom@st-andrews.ac.uk 01334 467259

In this project, we will develop a computational model for how enzyme mechanisms evolve. Our group’s previous work has developed reaction step fingerprints containing information about how the bond order, charge, and chemical connectivity change in each reaction step in our MACiE database of enzyme-catalysed reactions.

The Welcome Trust PhD Programme in Infection and Immunity in Cambridge 2010

The PhD Programme in Infection and Immunity is one of the 1+3 PhD Programmes in the Graduate School of Life Sciences.

The first year is assessed formally for the MPhil in Medical Sciences which is awarded at the end of the year on the basis of a number of assessment activities and the appointment of an External Examiner who presides over the final decisions on the award of this master degree.

Our aim is to provide exposure to a spectrum of laboratories and experimental approaches in the first year to allow the student to gain postgraduate level knowledge and technical experience across all of these areas, prior to selection of a major project to be undertaken in the next 3 years.

University of Edinburgh : PhD Studentships in Neuroinformatics and Computational Neuroscience

We invite applications for 12 fully-funded PhD studentships for UK students at the University of Edinburgh Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) in Neuroinformatics and Computational Neuroscience. The DTC is a world-class centre for research at the interface between neuroscience and the engineering, computational, and physical sciences. Our four-year programme is ideal for students with strong computational and analytical skills who want to employ cutting-edge methodology to advance research in neuroscience and related fields. The first year consists of courses in neuroscience and informatics, aswell as lab projects. This is followed by a three-year PhD project done in collaboration with one of the many departments and institutes affiliated with the DTC. The DTC focuses on research into understanding the brain and the nervous system using computational models and experiments, and also includes applying findings from neuroscience to build better softwareand hardware (robots and microcircuits), and using advanced methods toimprove data handling and analysis, including clinical diagnosis.
