BBRSC PhD studentships 2010


The School of Biomedical Sciences is very pleased to offer the following fully-funded PhD studentships from October 2010.

We provide a stimulating environment for training postgraduate research students using cutting-edge technology, training in transferable skills and a supportive team of supervisors and research colleagues. You will be joining a vibrant community of career researchers working on novel ideas with all the support and facilities that a world-class, research-led University can provide. We would like to meet you if you are interested in starting a career as a research scientist and becoming part of our team.

UK students who have achieved, or expect to achieve, a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree in Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Pharmacy or other relevant degree are eligible to apply for these fully-funded studentships.

Closing Date for applications is Friday 27th November 2009. Interviews will be held in Nottingham on Monday 14th December 2009.

Please note that certain eligibility conditions apply, therefore, this studentship is only available to UK/EU citizens ordinarily resident in the UK.
