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.

SCILLS Prize Studentships

We invite applications for these Prize Studentships, which are of three and a half years duration, from candidates with an outstanding academic record and strong interest in carrying out research on the roles of protein ubiquitylation in cell regulation and human disease. The studentships carry a tax-free stipend of £17, 500 per annum, with annual increment. University registration fees and the cost of relocation will also be covered, and up to a further £2000 per student is earmarked for attendance at national and international conferences and training courses.
