Research Opportunity: Obesity and Comorbidities
The University of Cambridge's Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit and the AstraZeneca Discovery Centre at Cambridge are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to work on a collaborative project entitled "Partitioning the effects of high body mass index on risk of future comorbidities". The student will be jointly supervised by Dr Samuel Lambert and Dr Xiao Jiang.
The project aims to investigate the molecular aetiology of body mass index and identify discrete axes of risk that may inform more personalized medicine and identify therapeutic targets. The student will employ genomic and computational approaches integrating genetic data, health records, and multi-omics data from blood.
Requirements
- A first or upper second-class degree from a UK university, or an equivalent standard from an overseas university
- Strong quantitative skills and experience with programming (e.g., R, Python)
- Ability to work in a team environment
Funding
Full funding covering the University Composition Fee and a stipend of £21,500 per annum are provided for the 4-year studentship.
Research Environment and Training
The student will primarily be based in the BHF Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit at the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Research Institute. The student will benefit from a collaborative environment that promotes equality, diversity and inclusion, and values all individuals.
Application Requirements
- Two academic references
- Transcript(s)
- CV/resume
- Evidence of competence in English
- Statement of Interest outlining your suitability and research interests
