Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award (DHPA) at Newcastle University
Applications are invited for the BBSRC-Croda Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award. This fully-funded scholarship will enable a top quality, well-qualified, international student to study for a PhD on the biological mechanisms of fatty acid metabolism in marine bacteria, using a systems biology approach, commencing in 2007-08 and based in the School of Marine Science and Technology (MAST) at the Dove Marine Laboratory at Newcastle University under the supervision of Professor Grant Burgess.
This fully-funded Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award (DHPA) will enable a high quality international student to study for a PhD at Newcastle starting some time in the 2007-08 academic year. This prestigious award covers the cost of postgraduate tuition fees at the overseas rate and provides a grant at a standard research council rate.
About the DHPA Scheme
Further information about this scheme, including its rationale, is available at the following web site: http://www.rcuk. ac.uk/hodgkin/ .
Value of the BBSRC-Croda DHPA
The DHPA covers the cost of postgraduate tuition fees at the international/ overseas rate and will provide a maintenance grant at a standard research council rate for up to three years' study, subject to satisfactory progress by the award holder. A DHPA may not be held concurrently with other funding such as another scholarship, for example an ORS Award.
Background to Research
The award holder will be based in MAST and the award will be jointly funded by one of the UK research councils (Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council - http://www.bbsrc. ac.uk) and an industrial partner (Croda – http://www.croda. com). The research undertaken will be expected to be within the remit of the research council.
Systems biology of fatty acid biosynthesis in marine bacteria
The DHPA will provide an outstanding training opportunity in an area of great scientific importance using state-of-the- art methodology.
There is increasing demand for biomass rather than petroleum to provide natural and pure industrial chemicals. However, one enormous challenge is to develop a range of bioprocesses, which can convert or process chemically complex biological mixtures into pure chemicals that industry needs. Nature already processes biological materials using complex arrays of enzymes, which form carefully regulated biosynthetic / biodegradative pathways. The majority of known industrial enzymatic processes, which produce pure chemicals, are based on enzyme systems from terrestrial organisms. However, not only is the sea a major source of biomass (for food and energy), it is becoming an increasingly significant source of biomass for the production of fine chemicals. In addition, the diversity of marine organisms is known to be greater than any other environment and remains relatively untapped. This project will focus on the natural
processing of fats and oils in the marine habitat and specifically by marine bacteria. The successful applicant will build on recent advances in this field and apply the exciting areas of genomics, bioinformatics and biotechnology to investigate the diversity and function of marine microbial fat processing enzymes.

Eligibility for our DHPA:
- Candidates will be expected to hold a first-class degree or equivalent from a prestigious academic institution, either in the UK or overseas. The overriding criterion of the scheme is excellence, and DHPA scholars should be easily recognizable as the 'best of the best'
- Candidates must be able to start their studies within the 2007-08 academic year, eg possibly January 2008. applications from students who have already started their MPhil/PhD at Newcastle will not be accepted.
- Candidates must be student nationals from one of the following eligible countries:
