4-year PhD Programme in Pain Research - London

Wellcome Trust funded 4-year PhD Programme in Pain Research: from Molecules to Perception

Join the London Pain Consortium's vibrant community of over 20 postgraduate and postdoctoral scientists on their well established PhD Programme in Pain Research.

The next intake of students will be in September 2010.

The programme

Year one involves a number of neurobiology and bioinformatic courses and the completion of three rotation projects, where a wide range of neuroscience techniques will be learnt. Students then choose a full research project in pain and a supervisor for the subsequent three years from the Consortium and associated laboratories.

All PhD projects involve collaborations between at least two internationally competitive and well-funded laboratories, with topics covering the whole range of neurosciences related to pain mechanisms and their control: molecular biology, cellular mechanisms, integrated systems neuroscience and human neurophysiology.

Funding

There are two Wellcome Trust funded PhD studentships available, plus University funded studentships. All applications will be considered for both schemes. We also have MB PhD studentships available. Non-UK applicants will only be funded at the UK/EU rate and will need to find the difference in fees.

Applications

To apply send a CV, a statement of why you are interested in the PhD programme, plus two references to via the ‘Apply Now’ button.
