The University of Glasgow is seeking a dynamic, highly self-motivated graduate for a research studentship.
The studentship, funded by the leading bioscience company Alltech, will examine the relationship between biochemical provisioning and the physical structure of the eggs of salmonid fish and the performance of eggs, larvae and on-growing fry. This exciting project is a collaboration between the Avian Biology Research group in the Veterinary Faculty, the Fish Biology Group at the Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment and Alltech. The successful candidate would expect to develop significant knowledge and skills in light and electron microscopy, controlled experimental trials and micronutrient nutrition. Candidates are required to have at least an upper second class degree in a biological, biomedical or veterinary science. A driving licence with 2 years driving experience is essential.
The position, which is only open to candidates from within the EU, will be initially for 1 year, however if successful, it is expected that this will be extended to 3 years leading towards the award of a PhD.
Closing date for applications 30 April 2008.
For further information please contact:
Dr Maureen Bain at the Avian Biology Laboratory, m.bain@vet.gla.ac.uk or
Dr Colin Adams at the Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment: c.adams@bio.gla.ac.uk
Funding Notes
The student stipend will be at the UK research council rate, currently £12,600 p.a.
The studentship is expected to start in July 2008.
