SCILLS - The Scottish Institute for Cell Signalling

SCILLS is dedicated to the study of how biological processes are controlled and how they become deregulated in disease. The Protein Ubiquitination Unit is the Institute's first research Division. Its major aims are to advance understanding of the role of protein ubiquitination and related modifications in cell regulation and human disease, to facilitate the development of drugs to treat diseases caused by abnormalities in this process, to generate reagents and improve technologies on which more rapid progress in this area depends, and to train the next generation of scientists who will advance the subject.

Application Procedures

The SCILLS PhD programme is being administered by the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, with which SCILLS has a close interaction. Full details of the programme are provided on the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit website, www.ppu.mrc.ac.uk

Please send a CV with contact details of three referees to applyscills@dundee.ac.uk, and also include a letter indicating two or three research groups with whom you would like to work.

Applications accepted all year round. Applications are now closed for 2010. New projects will be advertised for 2011 in due course.

Note that applicants will only be contacted if invited for interview.
