Fifteen (15) PhD Scholarships in Process Engineering, Newcastle University, UK (2015)

Applications are invited for 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to be funded by the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network "BioRapid" (www.bio-rapid.eu), a consortium of nine European academic and industrial partners from the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark and Germany funded by the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission. The ESRs may have the opportunity to obtain their PhD with a wide experience in biopharmaceutical and bioprocess engineering related disciplines.
