PhD Studentships : NIHR BRC Magnetic Resonance & Precision Imaging

We are currently seeking high-quality PhD students with a strong interest in clinical translational research to join our imaging theme and undertake research in one of our four research subthemes.  

We are able to offer three, fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentship at the UK home student level (fees and stipend). The scheme is not aimed at clinical applicants as we cannot offer a salaried position, but are happy to discuss options with interested candidates from a clinical background (please contact Professors Rob Dineen or Dorothee Auer ). Successful students will be expected to start their studies from October 2024.  

We anticipate holding interviews in early April 2024 with both in-person and online MST attendance options. 

As a doctoral student, you would by supervised by a world-leading team of experts in medical imaging technology, its application in clinical research and the translation into clinical practice. Projects will directly contribute to the challenge-led translational work of the MR&PI theme and close collaboration with clinical colleagues are expected. As an NBRC funded PhD student in the MR&PI theme you would be a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) trainee with access to its broad-ranging training opportunities. You would also become a member of the  Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Centre - The University of Nottingham and have access to training from the Nottingham Medical Imaging Academy, a dedicated cross-disciplinary training resource and community, alongside the courses offered through the University of Nottingham Researcher Academy.  

In addition, all projects will be required to include Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) to enhance clinical relevance and acceptability, and senior statistical and design support to accelerate clinical translation.    

You need a 2:1 or higher undergraduate degree in a relevant area (e.g. computer science, engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, radiography, nursing or medicine) or a 2:2 and a relevant MSc.  

Share your motivation and how your skills and experience are relevant to the programme. You should also demonstrate how you would benefit from participating in the doctoral training programme and how you will contribute to your academic community as a result.
