BRACE (Bristol Research into Alzheimer's and Care of the Elderly) Ph.D.
Studentship 'Predicting the progression of cognitive impairment in memory
clinic attendees' Department of Social Medicine
Applications are invited from graduates with good honours or Masters degrees
in a numerate discipline, and extensive experience of applied statistical
analysis, for a three-year Ph.D. studentship tenable from January 2008. The
student will use anonymous data from the Bristol memory clinic archives to
investigate whether neuropsychological tests administered at presentation
can help identify individuals whose cognitive impairment will worsen. The
studentship is funded by the BRACE charity (Bristol Research into
Alzheimer's and Care of the Elderly) and includes a stipend of ｣12,500 per
year, plus a generous allowance for research costs. It is anticipated that
the project will require a comparison and choice between potentially useful
statistical methods in a practical context. A demonstrated interest in
health services research and Alzheimer's disease would be desirable.

solid-mechanics, micro-macro approaches, particle and contact mechanics,
micro-fluidics, and self-healing materials.
Research of the UT is organized in 6 spearhead institutes, including the
Institute for Biomedical Technology (BMTi). This interdepartmental institute
hosts more than 250 researchers from the field of physics, electrical
engineering, construction technology and (bio)-chemical technology. It is
recognised world-wide as a leading institute in this multi-disciplinary
field of science, where engineering concepts and methods are employed to
solve and understand medical and biological problems. The main areas of
interest are human function technology and tissue engineering.
The research program of The Biomechanical Engineering (BME) group is
focussed on the human locomotor apparatus, from diagnosis training to the
construction of supportive devices. The medical application areas are
rehabilitation, orthopaedics and neurology.
In the BME group one PhD position and is available, which is part of the
VIRTUROB project that is a 'pieken in de delta' proposal, which aims to

Job description
------------------------------
A PhD position is available at LT in a new project sponsored by the Dutch
technology foundation STW. In this new project we want to develop
multi-stage microcoolers that are able to reach even lower temperatures
(~30K), and small sorption compressors [2] that can replace the pressurized
gas bottles, and thus realize closed-cycle microcooling systems. The PhD
should focus on the thermodynamics and design of multi-stage coolers, on the
mechanism of clogging caused by water deposition, and measures to prevent
this to occur [3], and on the development of a full package design
(including vacuum). In parallel, a post-doc researcher will be appointed in
the project focusing on the utilization of results in two demonstrator
pilots. In these pilots, LNAs will be cooled with a number of cooler tips
fed by a single sorption compressor.

samples and advanced mathematical modelling of data obtained. We are
therefore looking for someone with a science background (BSc Biomedical
Sciences/Biology/Pharmacology/Chemistry or similar) with an aptitude for
mathematics.

The Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry with its' parent
Institutions, the Universities of Exeter and Plymouth, are seeking to
attract PhD candidates of outstanding ability to join their exciting and
rapidly expanding programme of internationally rated research.
As part of our new developments and our commitment to research excellence,
applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates, 2:1 or above,
for a full-time PhD studentship.
The studentship will commence in November 2007, funded by Veeda Clinical
Research, Plymouth.
The studentship will comprise of clinical studies to establish current
plasticizer (DEHP) exposure and toxicokinetics in critically ill children
and adults, and non-clinical studies to evaluate the extent of leaching from
various medical infusion devices and other sources of DEHP 'dosing'.

Full-time PhD Studentship in Cell Biology Department of Life Sciences
Full-time PhD Studentship in Cell Biology Department of Life Sciences Faculty
of Science *Based in Milton Keynes *
*Three years from 1 January 2008 *
*"The response of human brain endothelium and astrocytes to vasoactive
mediators", *funded by the Migraine Trust.
The aim of the project is to determine how brain microvascular endothelial
cells can modulate local blood flow, and contribute to the
electrophysiological disturbances that underlie migraine aura. The work
will use tissue culture systems to investigate the mediators released by
brain endothelium. The effects of endothelin, nitric oxide and eicosanoids
on the permeability of endothelium and the activation of astrocytes, will be
examined in association with drugs that may be used in treating migraine.
You should have a good honours degree in a biological or biomedical science,
emphasis molecular cell biology.
Informal enquiries may be made to Prof. David Male: email
D.K.Male@...; telephone 01908 659226.
For detailed information and how to apply go to www3.open.ac.uk/employment,
call Janet Vroone on 01908 659297 or email
