Convergence Science Non-Clinical PhD
Chemical Biology
Overview
The CRUK Convergence Science Centre (CSC) is partnering with The Institute of Chemical Biology (ICB) EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training to provide a 4 year PhD studentship. Projects will involve the development of novel molecular tools and technologies in Chemical Biology to study molecular interactions that address an unmet need in cancer.
World class training
Students will follow the four-year version of the non-clinical PhD training programme. You will be trained by world leading experts in cancer biology, engineering and physical sciences at Imperial and the ICR. This will enable you to acquire a broad skill set and learn the language of multiple disciplines.
High-quality research outputs
With a range of outputs spanning research publications, presentations at relevant conferences, the PhD will provide you the grounding for your future success as a convergence scientist.
Convergence Science Centre Bespoke Training programme
The scientific landscape is constantly evolving, with disciplines merging into novel entities. To navigate interdisciplinary research, our students are required to develop flexibility by learning to integrate diverse skill sets. To support them, we've designed a training programme aimed at developing skills required to work across the boundaries of different disciplines.
Successful candidates will receive a £23,000 tax-free student stipend (living allowance) per year for 4 years plus payment of university tuition fees at Home status.
The standard Convergence Science Centre PhD programme and studentship academic eligibility criteria are:
A first or upper second-class honours degree (or equivalent from a non-UK university) in a relevant subject.
A master’s degree in a relevant subject
Appropriate English language skills.
