MRC WIMM Prize PhD Studentships

The MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM) has fully funded 4-year Prize PhD (DPhil) Studentships available to start in October 2024. These Studentships are open to outstanding candidates of any nationality who wish to train in experimental and/or computational biology.

The Institute is a world leading molecular and cell biology centre that focuses on research with application to human disease including bioinformatics analysis. It houses 500 researchers, staff and students working on a range of topics in Haematology, Gene Regulation & Epigenetics, Stem Cell Biology, Computational Biology, Cancer Biology, Human Genetics, Infection & Immunity. The Institute is committed to training the next generation of scientists in these fields through its Prize PhD Studentship Programme.

The fully funded studentships include a stipend of no less than £21,000 and cover University fees.

Further information on the studentships, the projects available, how to apply and the timeline, can be found on the WIMM website.

Before you apply, you should identify an academic member of staff who is willing to supervise you and has the resources to support the proposed research project. Although not part of the final selection process, contact with the prospective supervisor is a key part of the admissions process to ensure there is a good fit between the student and the lab.

Closing date for submission of applications: Friday, 1 December 2023, 12 noon (UK time).

Interviews will take place the week commencing 8 January 2024. Offers will be made in February 2024.
