Before submitting a formal application, we encourage you to contact potential supervisors that you are interested in working with. The purpose of contacting a supervisor is to learn more about the project and/or lab, and determine whether there would be a good fit between what you are looking for and what the lab can offer. To contact supervisors, begin by looking through the academic profiles and available projects on the department website (https://www.bioch.ox.ac.uk/supervisors-and-projects) and identify 2-3 supervisors you may be interested in working with. Send an email to these potential supervisors indicating that you are interested in applying for a MSc/DPhil in their lab. You should explain why you are interested in their project/lab and include any questions you may have about it. Further advice on how to contact potential supervisors can be found on the FindAPhD website (https://www.findaphd.com/guides/contacting-phd-supervisors).

Deadline for applications: 12 noon (GMT) 1^st December 2023
