Michael Lindon, currently on the 4yr M.Phys. Physics course in our department, has just won the James B Duke Fellowship of Duke University in North Carolina, USA. Duke is among the top 10 universities in the US and ranked 19th world-wide. These fellowships are awarded to a small number of students applying to (all) Duke PhD programs following a campus-wide competition. Winning the award is a distinction and an honor; the award recognises a student's academic achievement to date and reflects Duke University's view of their scholarly and research promise for PhD studies at Duke. The Fellowship carries a substantial stipend supplement per year for each of the first 4 years -- in addition to the financial PhD support at Duke. Well done Michael and all the best for your future PhD work at Duke University next academic year!

We will soon launch the call for mini-project proposals for the Systems Biology MSc students. There are 19 students this year and each student carries out one experimental biology project and one "dry" project.

The mini-projects are 12 weeks long, with the first one running from 21st March 2009 - 10th June 2010 and the second one from 13th June - 9th September 2010.

Ahead of this call, we are announcing the opportunity to give a short talk to the students to introduce your research area.

The IOP has just launched its conference fund for PhD students, providing financial support to research student members to attend international conferences and major national meetings.

Up to £250 can be applied for during the course of your PhD.

The newly formed Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) is pleased to announce that it has funding available for staff and students to undertake projects related to the development of innovative learning. £125,000 is available for the academic year 2010/11 in various funding streams.
