PhD Studentship: Developing a microfluidics-based platform for rapid testing of microbial resistanc

This project will be conducted jointly by Engineering and Biology through an interdisciplinary approach drawing on diverse expertise and unique infrastructure available across faculties. The PhD student will work along a Postdoc researcher on the project, in collaboration with other UK and international collaborators. Candidates with at least an upper second (2:1) class degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., Biomedical Sciences, Biochemistry, Chemistry and Engineering) are invited to apply. Research experience or a Master’s degree in a related area (e.g., Microfluidics, Analytical Chemistry and/or Microbiology) would be highly beneficial.  

If you wish to discuss any details of the project informally, please contact Dr Xunli Zhang, Bioengineering research group, Email: XL.Zhang@soton.ac.uk, Tel: +44 (0) 2380 59 5099.                                                                                              

Funding Notes  

This project is in competition with others for funding; the projects which receive the best applicants will be awarded a full studentship. This 3 year studentship covers home-rate tuition fees and provides an annual tax-free stipend at the standard EPSRC rate, which is £14,777 for 2018/19.  

 

The funding is only available to UK citizens or EU citizens who have been resident in the UK for at least 3 years prior to the start of the studentship and not mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education. For further guidance on funding, please contact PGRapply.FEE@soton.ac.uk
