Fully funded studentships in Pathogens and host defences doctoral training partnership studentships
The University of Surrey is delighted to announce eight fully funded studentships within our collaboratively-funded Doctoral Training Partnership, partnering with the Pirbright Institute, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory and the University of Sussex.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our new DTP, developed to bridge the gap between veterinary and human infectious diseases research by building a cohort of students in the area of One Health, One Medicine.
Focusing this year on projects in virology and/or immunology, all studentships will be joint between the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (FHMS) at University of Surrey, and either the Pirbright Institute, near Woking in Surrey, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), Porton Down or the University of Sussex, Brighton. Students will have a principal supervisor at each site and be expected to spend time at each site.
These studentships will be for 3.5 years and will come with consumable funding as appropriate.
We’re offering a UKRI-aligned stipend (£17,668 pa for 2022-23), approved University of Surrey/Sussex fees and a research budget.
Six of these projects are jointly funded (50:50) by the University of Surrey and one of the strategic partners (the Pirbright Institute or the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory). The collaborative projects between the Universities of Surrey and Sussex are funded 100% by one of the two universities; one each.
The University of Surrey and its collaborative partners provide a vibrant, interdisciplinary research environment, with access to state-of-the-art facilities. We want the most talented researchers from diverse backgrounds to join us, bringing new ideas and perspectives. We offer sector-leading researcher development training and mentoring, and dedicated employability support.
