Through this interdisciplinary project in the exciting and growing field of Mathematical Pharmacology, the student will join Swansea’s new Mathematical Methods in Biology and Life Sciences (MMBLS) group, gaining skills in scientific computing, mathematics and bio-modelling which will be applicable in a vast range of fields. The student will benefit from an experienced team of supervisors and collaborators in Swansea, the UK and the Netherlands.
Eligibility
- Due to funding restrictions, this studentship is open to UK/EU candidates only.
- Candidates must have an upper second class honours undergraduate or a Masters degree (with Merit), in a relevant discipline.
