We are seeking to recruit up to five outstanding health professionals for the August 2024 intake.

The opportunity:

Funding is provided for a preparatory period (typically between three and 12 months, depending on circumstances) when selection of supervisors and planning of the PhD project are optimised with the support of the ECAT directors before beginning the three-year PhD project. Following the PhD, salary funding is available for up to two years of postdoctoral research.
