Wellcome Trust 4-Year Phd Programme
Infection and Immunity
Through a funding initiative by the Wellcome Trust, the University of Cambridge has an on-going 4-year PhD Programme in Infection and Immunity. The Programme involves collaboration between the School of Clinical Medicine, including Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, the Department of Pathology and the School of Veterinary Medicine. Five studentships will be available in October 2006. The major themes of the Programme are Basic Cell and Molecular Biology (including structural and cell biology), Immunity, and Infection. The initial year of training involves literature-driven in-depth analyses of topics of research relevant to the overall themes of the Programme, and 3 mini-projects in research laboratories attached to each of the Programme themes. Students then make an informed choice of their 3-year thesis project and complete their PhD in the 4-year period. Further details of this varied and challenging course are available on the website http://www.cimr.cam.ac.uk.
A starting stipend of approximately £16,283 per annum and research costs are provided. Tuition fees will be paid at the home/EU rate.
Students with, or expecting to attain at least an upper second class honours degree are invited to apply.
Please apply in writing with current curriculum vitae, including the names, fax numbers and email addresses of three academic referees (one of whom should have been a project supervisor) to:
Mrs Susan Keene, Wellcome Trust Immunology Unit, MRC Centre, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH.
