Studentship in Biology - University of Nottingham
PhD Studentship Nutrient controls on carbon dynamics in tropical
wetlands School of Biosciences
Supervisors: Dr Sofie Sjảgersten (Environmental Science) and Professor
Colin Black (Plant Science)
This project examines the impact of nutrient availability on key
aspects of the carbon cycle in tropical wetlands: CO2 and CH4 fluxes, net primary
production, litter production and decomposition of organic matter.
Tropical wetlands have been identified by the Intergovernmental Panel for
Climate Change (see: http://www.ipcc.ch) as an important carbon store which is
highly vulnerable to environmental change e.g. management practices and
pollution. A nutrient gradient in the Chinguinola wetland, Bocas del
Toro Province, Republic of Panama, offers a uniquely relevant model system
to test whether increased nutrient status will reduce carbon storage in
these ecosystems. The wetland exhibits a strong nutrient gradient with
associated distinct vegetation communities that are ideal for addressing the
following specific questions:
How does the vegetation community respond to changes in nutrient status
and what are the implications for litter production?
How does nutrient status influence carbon cycling and allocation within
the ecosystem and ultimately CO2 and CH4 emissions to the atmosphere?
What are the main feed backs between the above and below ground
ecosystem processes with respect to carbon and nitrogen cycling?
Field experiments, together with laboratory studies of carbon dynamics,
will provide a strong base for exploring these questions and during the
project a combination of robust ecological/biogeochemical methods and stable
isotope techniques will be used.
The work will involve two three-month field work periods based at the
Bocas del Toro research station run by the Smithsonian Institute (see:
http://www.stri.org) as well as a substantial laboratory component
involving both standard laboratory analysis and stable isotope method
development.
This studentship provides a unique opportunity to develop sought after
skills whilst addressing important environmental questions in a highly
relevant ecosystem.
The successful student needs to have a strong combination of skills to
successfully carry out demanding field work and sophisticated
laboratory analysis.
The project will be based in the Environmental Science Division at the
University of Nottingham (see: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/biosciences/ah/).
Applications, with a detailed CV and the names and addresses of two
referees, should be sent to Dr S Sjogersten, School of Biosciences, The
University of Nottingham, Sutton Bonington Campus, Loughborough,
Leicestershire, LE12 5RD. Email: Sofie.Sjogersten@Nottingham.ac.uk.

PhD Studentship in Bioengineering
Statistical Methods for Computational Modelling of Total Hip Replacements
Bioengineering Sciences Research Group
University of Southampton
School of Engineering Sciences
A PhD studentship is now available within the Bioengineering Sciences Research Group, School of Engineering Sciences (SES), which will fully cover University tuition fees** and provide a tax-free bursary of Ê12,300 per year, rising annually in line with the UK Government (EPSRC) recommended rate, for a three-year duration.
**The studentship will fully cover Overseas fees for international applicants.
This project will focus on the development of statistical methods for characterising the variability of the femur with applications to computer-assisted planning and analysis of total hip replacements. The key idea is to develop a statistical methodology based on principal component analysis and centroidal Voronoi tessellations for characterising the spatial variability in geometry and density distribution of the femur across patients. Existing CT scan data will be used to construct a flexible, parameterised statistical model of the femur. Protocols will be developed for automatically exporting the realizations of the resulting statistical model into off-the-shelf mesh generation and finite element analysis software. The methodology developed will be applied to systematically quantify the impact of biological variability in the femur on the mechanical performance of total hip replacements. It is also intended to study the application of this methodology to computer-assisted surgical planning. Of particular interest is the problem of optimal reconstruction of patient specific three-dimensional femur geometry and density distribution from X-Ray data, and a sparse set of digitized bone surface points.
SES is a top 5* rated research school with an international reputation. The successful candidate will work with a group of highly motivated, first class research students in the areas of computational and experimental orthopaedic biomechanics
The School is a diverse community which is committed to creating an inclusive working and learning environment in which all individuals are equally treated and valued, and can achieve their potential. The School considers all studentship applications in relation to academic criteria and regardless of the individual''s race, gender, or belief.
Entry requirements: The studentship is available to candidates with the equivalent of a first class or upper second class degree in Mechanical, Computational or related Engineering disciplines. The studentship is at the standard EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) rate, commencing on 2 October 2006.
