Objective
The European Commission has designated the Rowett Research Institute as a Marie Curie Training Site for Gut Microbiology and Immunology. Applications are invited from postgraduate students undertaking a Ph.D. on a related topic in a member state to spend 6-12 months at the world-renowned institute located in Aberdeen, Scotland. The student will join 180 research staff and 50 Ph.D. students at a pleasant location on the outskirts of Aberdeen. The training will cover a broad range of techniques relating to the biology of the gut and its microbial population, including
- Anaerobic bacteriology by classical Hungate culture technique- Newer anaerobic chamber technologies
- Rumen and human-intestine simulation fermenters- Molecular population analysis technology
- Molecular phylogenetic analysis of anaerobic bacteria
- Molecular phylogenetic analysis of ciliate protozoa
- Transformation techniques for anaerobic gut bacteria
- Assessment of immune status and barrier function of the gut epithelium in response to bacterial challenges
- Chemical analysis of gut fermentation products In addition to these topics, formal instruction will be given in statistical analysis, information storage and retrieval, and the preparation of scientific material oral presentation and for publication. Applicants will also be expected to participate in one of the ongoing research programmes in gut microbiology and immunology, pursuing one of the above topics in greater depth. Equal opportunities are available for male and female students; female students are particularly encouraged to apply. Comfortable, secure accommodation is available on-campus. Students receive 1200 euros per month plus travel expenses. Further details of the Rowett Research Institute can be found at www.rri.sari.ac.uk. More details can be obtained from the coordinator Dr Jamie Newbold by email cjn@rri.sari.ac.uk, phone (+44)-1224-716675, or writing care of the Rowett Research Institute, Bucksburn, Aberdeen AB21 9SB, UK.
