Television Studies)
Applications are invited from highly qualified students across all areas in American & Canadian Studies and Film & Television Studies, including literature, history, politics, cultural and performance studies and new media studies.
Students are expected to apply through the University of Nottingham for funding from the AHRC (home and EU students) or ORS (*overseas students*). Fees paid at home/EU rate. Maintenance grant in line with national levels set by the AHRC, which for 2007/08 are: MA £8,800 and PhD £12,600.
Students are invited to a School Postgraduate Advisory Day on 22 January 2008 or may schedule separate appointments to meet academic staff.
Deadline 29 February 2008
PhD Studentships in Systems
Biology
*Four PhD studentships* are available to mathematically trained students as part of a major programme in systems biology at the University of Nottingham. Each provides the opportunity to work on a multidisciplinary project developing mathematical models for an important area of biology, namely:
1. Modelling the effect of maternal diet on the development of diseases (such as diabetes and obesity) in adult life. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor H Byrne.
2. Predictive modelling of the earliest events in vertebrate embryo development. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor J King.
3. Integrative modelling of angiogenesis and progesterone production in the ovary. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr M Owen.
4. From model to crop: modelling root development in cereals. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor J King
.
Deadline Friday 29 February 2008
Postgraduate Teaching
Fellowships
The University of Nottingham is one of the UK's leading research universities and the School of English Studies, awarded a 5A in the 2001 RAE, is one of its top-rated research units. The School is notable for the range of its postgraduate opportunities and is organised into four broad and interconnected research groupings: Modern English Literature, Modern English Language, Medieval Studies and Drama and Performance. All staff are research-active and involved in advanced teaching and supervision, with many of them internationally- renowned authorities in their fields.
*The Postgraduate Teaching Fellowships* cover the cost of postgraduate HEU tuition fees for up to three years, and will in addition pay an annual maintenance grant of at least £12,600. Whilst all potential students are eligible to apply for these awards, tuition fees will only be paid at HEU rates. All subject to satisfactory progress.
Deadline Friday 04 April 200
PhD Studentship in Gas Phase Chemical
Physics
An EPSRC funded PhD studentship associated with a collaborative project between Professor Katharine Reid and Dr Tim Wright is available at the University of Nottingham. The project is entitled "Probing intramolecular dynamical processes in electronically excited states of small aromatic molecules using picosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging and ZEKE" and its aim is to use the complementary combination of picosecond time-resolved velocity-map photoelectron imaging and ZEKE, together with Franck-Condon calculations, to identify the dark states responsible for excited state intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in vibrationally selected excited state molecules.
Students must have a 2:1 or 1st class MSci or MChem degree in chemistry, physics or chemical physics. This studentship is available from 1 October 2008 for a period of 3½ years. Due to funding restrictions, full funding is only available for UK/EU students; international students will require additional funding.
Deadline Thursday 31 July 2008
