Research training opportunity based on a single project in molecular, environmental or medical microbiology.
Note: Financial support/funding for your training may be available - please see below.
For further details please go to http://www.kingston.ac.uk/research/research-degrees/fees/
The project can start at any time. Training duration (full time) - 1 year.
The candidates will be able to select a title from the list below, or suggest their own project relevant to research conducted in the host laboratory. Our priority areas of studies are: molectual mechanisms of interaction between pathogenic bacteria and host cells, virulence factors, mechanisms of bacterial stress response, molecular genetics and genomics with a focus on Campylobacter jejuni and other bacterial pathogens.
(1) Investigation of host-pathogen interaction (e.g. to study of adhesins of Campylobacter jejuni and cognate host cell receptors)
(2) Application of IonTorrent Next Generation Sequencing for comparative analysis of bacterial pathogens (e.g. to study genetic mechanisms responsible for structural variation of a capsular polysaccharide of Campylobacter jejuni)
The research will employ a wide range of state of the art microbiological and molecular biology techniques, and a successful candidate will receive extensive training and support from an experienced supervisor.
It is expected that the student will actively participate in scientific meetings and writing research articles with a possibility to progress to a PhD, and a postdoctoral post in future (depending on performance).
- enthusiastic and eager to learn;
- keen on research in molecular microbiology in general, and in investigation of bacterial pathogens in particular.
- some basic skills in bench work would be beneficial.

The MA Development Practice is a new, interdisciplinary degree focusing on the key management and strategic challenges faced by the development sector. This course is ideal if you are seeking to start or advance a career in development and humanitarian management.
Recent decades have seen significant shifts in the way NGOs and other organisations in the development sector operate. The MA Development Practice will give you critical perspectives on these changes, and equip you with tools for contributing to future developments.
It offers a comprehensive introduction to the way the sector works, from planning to critical issues affecting the sector. It will provide you with a solid conceptual understanding of key debates and issues in international development, together with technical skills in project design and management.
Recent decades have seen significant shifts in the way NGOs and other organisations in the development sector operate. The MA Development Practice will give you critical perspectives on these changes, and equip you with tools for contributing to future developments.
Over the year, and across two central Critical Issues modules, you’ll develop a rigorous and deep critique of the ways NGOs and other agencies work, and the political contexts of development.
Practical issues are at the heart of this MA and you will focus on issues and challenges raised during project planning, management and implementation. Working as part of a team, you will propose innovative solutions to classic development problems.
A work-based placement is also offered as part of the course. Over the summer months, you can undertake a work placement with a relevant organisation and write an extended analytical report on the experience. This gives you a chance to action the ideas and concepts explored in class, as well as enhancing your development in the work place.
A range of professional skills courses are also available to top-up and extend the portfolio of practical skills developed as part of the course.
A range of optional seminars and workshops are also offered during your Masters programme for the teaching and strengthening of student skills. Sessions to support learning - in particular essay writing - occur throughout the year.
Please access our Skills Training and Development Practice Programme for further information.
We welcome applications from students whose first language is not English. To ensure such students benefit from postgraduate study, we require evidence of proficiency in English. Please visit our website for more information.
