Jobs and Studentships

We are always interested to hear from prospective students or postdoctoral researchers who would be interested in joining GOdogs for a masters by research, PhD or postdoctoral research fellowship.  Please contact Dr Eleanor Raffan if you are interested.

Currently we are recruiting for two specific PhD studentships.

BBSRC Targetted PhD Studentship:

From genotype to phenotype in obesity – using a canine model to determine how genetic variation affects energy homeostasis

Find out more about that program here.  Further details on the project are available by downloading this file.


PhD for 2019 entry:

Using canine models of obesity to discover the mechanisms by which genes influence obesity

This proposal does not have studentship funds at present but interested candidates may apply for funding on as part of the application process.  Further details on the project and funding are available by downloading this file.
