New Zealand : PhD Studentship - Molecular genetics of multiple drug resistance in parasites of sheep and goats

The Moredun Research Institute (Scotland) and AgResearch Hopkirk Research Institute (New Zealand) have recently agreed on a formalised programme of scientific collaboration. The primary focus of this relationship is to conduct multidisciplinary research into diseases of ruminant animals and deliver effective animal health solutions to the livestock farming industry. As part of this collaborative research programme the institutes have agreed to fund a research position to study diseases of livestock of importance to both countries.

Applications are invited for a PhD Studentship which has been established to investigate the molecular basis of multiple drug resistance in nematode parasites of sheep and goats. We are looking for a molecular biologist, preferably with an interest in parasitology.

The studentship will be registered at Moredun but will involve research work to be undertaken both in Scotland and in New Zealand.

The studentship includes an initial stipend of £12,940 p.a. tax exempt for 3 years (plus all reasonable travel and relocation expenses between Scotland and New Zealand).
