Applications are invited for two research studentships (one masters and one PhD) in the South African National Bioinformatics Institute (www.sanbi.ac.za). Both research projects are computational projects and will focus on research of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV Transmission networks (MSc) Viral sequence data generated from a number of sources will be used to undertake in-depth studies of transmission networks present within HIV infected populations. We will combine the use of phylogenetic methods together with available epidemiological information to model the extent of clustering present within these populations. This will be correlated with the presence of drug resistant mutations to describe the levels of transmission of resistant virus between individuals. This project will use currently available methodologies but will also, where necessary, involve the development of novel approaches. Management and analysis of ultra-deep sequencing data (PhD) Recent advances in sequencing technologies mean that we are now able to sequence the level of HIV viral diversity present within an individual to unprecedented levels. Such advances mean that new computational tools for managing and studying this data need to be developed. This project will involve developing methods to manage such large volumes of data but will also involve undertaking comprehensive analysis of novel data, particularly to document the presence and emergence of minor viral variants during disease progression and in response to antiretroviral treatment. General information MSc applicants should be in possession of a good Honours (BSc) degree (average score not less than 60%) in a related scientific subject area. Candidates with an undergraduate degree or diploma (M +3) having at least 3-5 years experience will also be considered. PhD applicants should be in possession of a Masters degree whether in Bioinformatics or in a related scientific field subject area such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Biochemistry, Engineering or other areas. Applicants with an outstanding undergraduate degree may also be considered. Applicants should have computational experience with proficiency in at least one programming language (C++, java, perl, python) being desirable for the MSc project and essential for the PhD project. Please send a covering letter and comprehensive C.V. to Simon Travers, SANBI (simon@sanbi.ac.za) Closing date for applications is 11th August 2010.

About the School of Museum Studies In recent years museums and galleries across the world have been subject to enormous change. The School of Museum Studies at Leicester has been a global focus for these exciting developments since it first opened more than 40 years ago. Leicester has been a centre for some of the most influential thinking in the museum field and staff continue to carry out research which engages with and informs leading-edge practice. The School’s Research Centre for Museums and Galleries (RCMG) has, over the past decade, developed a programme of innovative and rigorous research that has informed policy and practice and inspired innovation and experimentation internationally. Indeed, Leicester’s long standing reputation was confirmed in 2009 when the results of the Research Assessment Exercise were announced showing that we are home to the highest proportion of world-leading researchers in any subject area in any UK university. Our innovation, however, is not confined to our research activities. We are committed to student-centred learning of the highest quality and to actively supporting learners from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds. Graduates from our Masters and PhD programmes work in museums and galleries, arts and heritage organisations, universities and research centres around the world, and draw on the experiences and skills gained through their studies to innovate through creative practice. Opportunities are available for study and research either in Leicester or by distance learning for those with work or personal commitments that demand greater flexibility. The School’s commitment to innovation and inclusivity continues to underpin all of our activities. Our courses are available both full time (campus based) or part time (distance learning) providing you with the flexibility to combine studying with your work or personal commitments. Skills into practice Our courses provide you with valuable opportunities to develop both your practical skills and your creative and critical thinking. An eight week work placement (chosen from a wide range of participating museums and galleries across the UK and beyond) enables campus-based Masters students to put into practice the skills developed on the course and numerous guest lecturers and study visits around the country provide rich insights into contemporary practice. Studying by distance learning enables you to apply your newly gained skills and knowledge directly into your workplace as you develop them. Learning becomes inextricably linked to your own practice and encourages an informed and creative approach to problem-solving. Career progression Collaborative working with a wide range of museums, galleries and other cultural organisations is critical to the development and delivery of all of our courses. This approach enables us to ensure our graduates meet the needs of the sector with all programmes providing you with the skills and knowledge to move into a variety of careers or into further postgraduate study. Collaboration These collaborative relationships also enable us to bring in leading figures from the sector to participate in conferences and to provide guest lectures on our full time programmes and distance learning summer schools. Moreover, our distance learning materials are developed with extensive input from leading practitioners and high profile organisations in the sector. This not only provides you with the opportunity to learn from those spearheading developments in the field, but also to build networks across the sector. Research into teaching Our success in the 2009 Research Assessment Exercise highlighted the strength of research carried out both by individual academics and the School’s Research Centre for Museums and Galleries (RCMG). This research underpins our course developments and delivery, feeding directly into our teaching and enabling you to benefit from developments in your field as they occur. International perspective We maintain an international perspective across all our teaching and research activities and, in recent years, we have welcomed students from more than 40 countries. The School has become a site for international conversations about museums enabling all of our students – both on campus and learning at a distance – to learn from each other as well as to start to build invaluable networks and relationships with international colleagues.
