UK: PhD Studentship in Civil Engineering at Imperial College London
PhD Studentship Seismic Performance of Hybrid Steel/Concrete Column/Slab Systems Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship to work on the above research project in the area of Structural Earthquake Engineering. Applicants must have a first degree (or equivalent) in Civil Engineering and preferably a Masters degree (or equivalent) in Structural Engineering or Earthquake Engineering. Previous experience in structural design or structural engineering research would be advantageous.
The research will involve a detailed investigation into the seismic performance of composite systems consisting of tubular steel columns and reinforced concrete flat slabs. An experimental study will be undertaken in order to investigate the behaviour of representative structural assemblages incorporating novel connection configurations. The work will also include significant modelling and analytical aspects using nonlinear finite element procedures. The findings from this investigation will be used to generate information relevant for seismic design codes.

UK: PhD Studentship in Primary Care and General Practice at University of Birmingham
People who have had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) are at high risk of subsequently having a stroke, and these risks are greatest in the initial period following the event, with 8% of people going on to have a stroke within a week and 12% within a month. National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke recommend that patients with a TIA should be investigated as soon as possible in a specialist service within 7 days. While there is a broad based clinical consensus that management of patients with TIA and minor stroke should be more pro-active than it currently is, it is not possible to recommend a single model of care, since there are a number of unresolved issues. Should the emphasis be on the development of rapid access specialist clinics (analogous to rapid access chest pain clinics)? Should this involve a `one stop’ service, with same day access to brain scans and carotid ultrasound? What is the trade off in terms of cost versus outcome if these clinics have the capacity to see all patients on the same day that they are referred, or if there is a maximum wait (e.g. 7 days)? What would be the impact if more patients with TIA were seen in hospital within a few hours of symptom onset (e.g. if health education campaigns alert people to the symptoms of stroke, and are encouraged to dial `999)? Alternatively, should GPs manage patients more actively, without referring all to specialist clinics?
