[beasiswa] [info] PhD Studentship in Diabetes Research - University of Warwick

PhD Studentship Clinical Sciences Research Institute Warwick Medical School

*Fixed-term contract for 3 years*

The Clinical Sciences Research Institute, at Warwick Medical School, is
pleased to announce the offer of a PhD research scholarship into
understanding molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of type 2
diabetes. Ideally you will be able to commence in February 2008.

To date the most common form of type 2 diabetes is one that is related to
obesity. Yet, we know little about what causes insulin resistance in the
obese or why obesity is associated with sub-clinical inflammation. At
present, there is a prevalent view - regarding obesity and its development -
that people eat too much of the wrong foods, that they undertake too little
physical activity and this programs the genetically susceptible for a
lifetime of insulin resistance. In reality, while this may be apparent,
there is still very little known about how hyperinsulinaemia/insulin
resistance may mediate the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and its
complications. These studies will enhance our understanding of the
pathogenesis of obesity associated type 2 diabetes, as well as the
mechanisms for the development of insulin resistance and sub-clinical
inflammation associated with this state. In addition, understanding the
mechanisms involved in the development of diabetes may highlight a better
way to manage those in the pre-diabetic phase.

Applications are invited from graduates in relevant science based
disciplines for this exciting opportunity. The studentship is available for
a period of three years, and includes payment of tuition fees of £12,600 and
a postgraduate stipend.

The studentship is available to UK, EU and International candidates.
International candidates (outside EU) would be required to pay the
difference between UK/EU Tuition Fees and International Tuition Fees. It is
a requirement that overseas students pass an IELTS of TOEFL English language
proficiency test. Further information on the language proficiency
