MRC Doctoral Training Programme iCASE PhD Studentships
We are offering a further five confirmed fully funded opportunities to combine academic research and training with industrial experience.
Students studying under the iCASE programme will spend at least 3 months working with the industrial partner, experiencing two distinct research cultures and enabling better understanding and experience of future career opportunities within industry as well as in the University context.
Studentships fall under one of the following research themes.
- Data Science for Health
- Infections and Immunity
- Molecular and Cellular Medicine
- Neurosciences and Mental Health
Projects are listed by research theme below.
We invite you to visit this video where our Course Director, Guy Williams, answers some of the most frequently asked questions about the DTP in MR program.
