Applicants must hold, or expect to obtain, a first or upper second-class honors degree or equivalent in an appropriate scientific subject from a recognized academic institution. Whilst a master’s degree is preferable, it is not essential.

All applicants should ensure they also meet the Imperial College Entry Requirements, including the English Language Requirement.

Whilst the funding for these studentships is open to students worldwide, funding for overseas students is more restricted. For this reason, only exceptional overseas students will be considered.

Job/Position Description- 

  • Each year research group has multiple fully funded studentships available for a 3.5 year Ph.D. program commencing each October.
  • These studentships provide a generous stipend, tuition fees, and bench fees for 3.5 years.
  • This program is designed for students who have a clear idea of the field in which they wish to work and who have solid laboratory or research experience.
  • It provides the opportunity to undertake a Ph.D. project that will make a novel contribution to scientific knowledge and understanding.
  • Each studentship focuses on its own unique research project within one of the multiple research groups.

Whilst the research group advises all applicants to read through the available projects to see what is available, please note that you are applying to the program rather than an individual project at this stage.

All applications will be viewed by all recruiting supervisors. If you are invited to interview, you will have the opportunity to meet with multiple supervisors to discuss their projects in detail before selecting the ones you wish to be considered for.
