New Trust/NIH PhD scheme now open

29 September 2008

Applications are now open for four-year collaborative PhD training in the UK/Republic of Ireland and the National Institutes of Health campus at Bethesda, USA.

The Wellcome Trust and National Institutes of Health Four-year PhD Studentships provide a chance for the most promising postgraduate students to undertake international, collaborative four-year PhD training based in both an academic institution in the UK/Republic of Ireland and the intramural campus of the NIH at Bethesda, USA.

Students will undertake a collaborative project and be co-mentored by supervisors at both locations. Candidates for the scheme must be UK/EEA nationals who have, or are in their final year and are expected to obtain, a first or upper second class honours degree or an equivalent EEA graduate qualification. We will fund up to five studentships per year.

Applications must be submitted no later than 17 November 2008. For more information and the application form see the Wellcome Trust and National Institutes of Health Four-year PhD Studentships scheme pages.
