Postgraduate Training and PhD Studentships
The Department is an outstanding University Centre for research in plant and microbial sciences. It offers unrivalled research and training opportunities in the following areas of plant and microbial science:
Bioenergy; Cell Biology and Development; Crop Improvement and Protection; Epidemiology, Ecology and Evolution; Systems Biology and Mathematical Modelling.
We expect to offer 2 to 4 BBSRC-funded studentships (3 years), an EPSRC-funded studentship (3 or 4 years) and a NERC-funded studentship (3 or 4 years) for October 2011 entry. These studentships are open to applicants from the UK and EU. BBSRC studentships are jointly administered with the Department of Physiology, Neuroscience and Development and the Department of Zoology. Other opportunities will be advertised as they become available.
In addition to the previously mentioned studentships, we welcome applications from applicants outside the UK. Non UK applicants can apply for University wide funding (e.g. Gates, Cambridge Overseas & Commonwealth Trusts, Cambridge Home and EU Scholarships). If you intend to apply for University wide funding, you should proceed directly to the 'Eligibility' and 'Getting Funding' links on the left.
