DPhil in the Systems Biology Doctoral Training Centre
Course Code | 003700
Students undertake a four-year doctoral training programme.
The first two terms are devoted to acquiring the necessary theoretical and technical skills from both the physical sciences and the life sciences, through a combination of intensive lecture courses, practicals, seminars, project work and communication skills training.
Over the third term and summer period of the first year, students undertake two extended projects of approximately twelve weeks’ duration. These are similar in scope to a Masters’ level project.
On completion of the projects, students undertake their substantive DPhil research projects within one of the four key research themes:
- Detailed pathway modelling
- Larger scale network modelling
- Cellular modelling
- Physiome modelling
How to ApplyThe deadlines for this course are 22 November 2013, 24 January 2014 and 14 March 2014. Overseas applicants applying for funding are advised to apply by the November deadline to meet applicable funding deadlines. Home and EU candidates should review the programme website for application deadlines. The standard set of materials you should send
with any application to a research course comprises: Applicants to the DPhil in Systems Biology are not required to submit a detailed research proposal. The research proposal should be in the form of a 1,000-word statement, which should detail how you believe
your background and experience would relate to one of the 4 research
themes (Bacterial sensory networks; regulation of CDK pathways; Cellular
Hypoxia; Physiome modelling). |
