UK: PhD Studentships Cancer Research UK -Cambridge Research Institute

Deadline: 30th November 2012

The Cambridge Research Institute is a joint venture between Cancer Research UK and the University of Cambridge. It opened in 2007 and has excellent state-of-the-art facilities. Research ranges from basic cancer biology and computational biology through to translational research and clinical application.
Graduate students play a pivotal role in the continuing success of our research programme and gaining a studentship in the Institute is an excellent opportunity to start a research career in an environment committed to training outstanding cancer research scientists of the future.
We seek highly motivated and talented students to enter our PhD programme in October 2013. All of our students gain their degrees from the University of Cambridge and have access to the wide range of talks and courses to be found across the University.
No nationality restrictions apply to Cancer Research UK funded studentships.
Applications are invited from recent graduates or final year undergraduates who hold or expect to gain a first/upper second class degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject from any recognised university worldwide. You may apply for a maximum of 3 projects. Please state clearly in your cover letter which projects you are applying for.
A Cancer Research UK studentship includes full funding for University and College fees and in addition, a stipend of £19,000 per annum.
The Institute offers projects in the following areas:
  • James Brenton - Genomic drivers of intratumoural heterogeneity
  • Kevin Brindle - A novel approach to imaging cell surface glycans in cancer
  • Kevin Brindle - Monitoring tumour responses to treatment using hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging
