The Centre for Integrative Mammalian Physiology and Pharmacology at Imperial was established through the award of a substantive grant from the BBSRC Integrative Mammalian Biology Fund to provide a focus within the College for the development of in vivo research.

An important part of the Centre’s mission is provision of postgraduate training in in vivo physiology and pharmacology so as to develop scientists with the necessary knowledge and skills to carry out cutting edge translational medical research.

We are seeking to appoint talented graduates to PhD studentships within the Centre in the following areas of biomedical science: Cardiovascular/Respiratory Science, Inflammation, Metabolism and Neuroscience. 

The Centre has the following Studentships available commencing in October 2009:

• One BBSRC Funded Three-Year Studentship: The studentship includes home fees and an annual stipend of at least £16,500, eligibility for which is for UK and EU citizens only. Other BBSRC terms and conditions may apply.

The successful candidates must have or expect to attain at least an upper second class honours degree in a biological/biomedical science.  Experience in physiology/pharmacology attained through a research project at undergraduate or master’s level or a sandwich year will be an advantage.

Interested candidates are invited to discuss this opportunity with Professor Buckingham by email (j.buckingham@imperial.ac.uk).

To apply please send a full CV, a personal statement identifying your preferred area of study, and the names and contact details of two academic referees, preferably via email, to:
