University of Warwick - BBSRC Case Award: Mechanistic modelling of in vitro transporter data to improve translational modelling of the transporter-mediated human pharmacokinetics and DDI predictions

What the BBSRC CASE Award offers

You will receive a monthly research scholarship of approximately 1,700 EUR for 36 months to pursue a PhD at the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick. A scholarship is a grant intended to cover living costs whilst you are studying. The project is based at the Biomedical and Biological Systems Laboratory, which develops mathematical models of how the body processes medicines. You will model how drug transporters influence the way medicines are transported through the human body and interact with one another. This is a BBSRC CASE Award, a UK research grant that combines a PhD with a partnership with an industry partner, meaning you will work with both a company and your supervisor at the university.

Who can apply

• Degree level: You hold a very good bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant subject area.
• Field of study: You hold a degree in engineering, specialising in modelling, pharmacokinetics or biomedical systems.
• Where you study: You work at the University of Warwick in Coventry, UK.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.

How to apply

Applications should be made via the postgraduate research programme at the School of Engineering, University of Warwick. The application deadline is 30 June. It is advisable to contact the supervisor before applying.
