• Academic title
  MRes Proteomic Technologies
• Course description
  Year 1, MRes: 12 months (students will be registered at the University of  Glasgow)
  Years 2-4, PhD: 36 months (students have a choice, within available projects, of registering at the Universities of Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee)
  
  The Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council Life Sciences Interface has awarded fully funded four-year PhD studentships to the Doctoral Training Centre in Proteomic Technologies as part of an exciting, internationally renowned, cross-university (Glasgow, Edinburgh & Dundee) interdisciplinary research collaboration that is already well established.
  
  The research brings together world-leading researchers in the field of proteomics. Successful applicants will work as part of a team spanning research groups focused on the wide range of technologies in proteomics, including cell and molecular biology, microarrays, microscopy and imaging, microfluidics, sensors, instrumentation and spectroscopy.
  
  We are particularly keen to attract students who want to work in a multidisciplinary environment, and would encourage those from a variety of disciplines to apply, including biological sciences, chemistry, physics and engineering.  Students coming from one discipline will receive training in all other areas (including formal lecture courses, workshops and laboratory-based training).
  
  Content
  
  The PhD studentships will be of four years' duration. In the first year, you will be registered at the University of Glasgow for an MRes (Masters in Research) in Biomedical & Life Sciences with a Specialisation in Proteomic Technologies.
  
  During that first year, you will receive training, including formal lecture courses, industrial workshops and laboratory-based training, in all relevant areas. These courses, run by experts on locations at all three collaborating universities, will give you the opportunity to experience all three university environments.
  
  The MRes will also include the opportunity to carry out two 14-week laboratory projects prior to making a final selection of PhD project and supervisor. 
  
  After the first year, you will continue your PhD studies full time at the university of your choice (Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee) for a further three years. The sponsors stipulate that PhD theses must be submitted within the duration of the four years of study.
