[visionlist] 4 new PhD studentships at Imperial College London

[Schultz, Simon R]

Dear Vision Researchers,

Imperial College is one of the world’s top engineering schools, with a  
growing and highly collaborative neuroscience community as well as  
strengths in related disciplines
such as robotics, computing, photonics, cell biology, and  
nanotechnology. The Department of Bioengineering has an exciting and  
expanding group of computational and systems neuroscience researchers  
that combine experiments and theory. Relevant academic faculty include  
Anil Bharath, Etienne Burdet, Aldo Faisal, Kenneth Harris, Holger  
Krapp and Simon Schultz. We would like to encourage PhD applications  
in visual and computational neurosciences for the following general  
call:

----

Four studentships are now available in the Department of  
Bioengineering at Imperial College London to start in October 2010:

BBSRC/EPSRC Doctoral Training Studentships (2 available)
Studentships are open to UK and EU candidates who have been ordinarily  
resident* in the UK for at least three years prior to the start of the  
course. Studentships cover full fees and bursary for up to three years  
(EPSRC) or four years (BBSRC).

* Applicants must have been normally residing in the UK (apart from  
temporary or occasional absences)

Departmental Studentships (2 available)
Studentships cover home/EU fees and bursary for three years and are  
open to UK and EU students (no residency requirement applies).  
Overseas candidates may also apply if they are able to supplement the  
home fees (i.e. pay the difference between home and overseas fees).
Candidates for all studentships should have, or expect to obtain, at  
least a good 2.1 in a relevant first degree (or equivalent).
Research Areas

The Department's research interests lie within the following broad  
themes.

. Biological and medical imaging
. Biomechanics and robotics
. Biophysical and physiological modelling
. Medical devices and informatics
. Neuroscience and technology
. Physiological fluid mechanics

Candidates should visit the academic staff page (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/bioengineering/people/staff 
) and research pages (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/bioengineering/ 
research) of the Bioengineering website (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/bioengineering/ 
) to identify topics of interest and appropriate supervisors.  Please  
contact the supervisor(s) directly, prior to application through the  
College online system, to devise or discuss potential projects.  For  
doctoral training studentships the chosen project must fall within the  
remit of the relevant research council - please see www.bbsrc.ac.uk  
and www.epsrc.ac.uk for further details.

PLEASE NOTE: applicants who were not successful in the previous round  
of departmental studentships will not be considered unless they have  
been informed otherwise or there has been a significant change  
regarding their CV since submitting their application. In the latter  
case, please send brief details and any supplementary material to k.hobson at imperial.ac.uk 
.

Application deadline: 4 June 2010
