NIHR GOSH BRC Translational Research (Non-Clinical) PhD Studentships
An exciting non-clinical PhD opportunity at the NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR GOSH BRC) is open for applications. The NIHR GOSH BRC’s Career Development Academy and the Accelerating Novel Therapies (ANT) and Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM) BRC research themes aims to fund three highly motivated non-clinical PhDs students to support the training and development of the next generation of translational researchers. The full-time studentships will begin on 1 October 2024 and be based at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (ICH). The studentship offers a starting stipend of £21,181 per annum (includes London weighting), as well as the cost of UK tuition fees, and £5,000 per annum contribution towards the running costs of their project. We have funding for up to three studentships - two within the TERM theme and one within the ANT theme.
