Graduate Students

Overview of graduate studentships at the LRI

Applications for the 2013 PhD Programme are now closed, and will reopen for the 2014 PhD Programme in October 2013.

Doing a PhD is an exciting, challenging and stimulating experience that forms the foundation for your subsequent scientific career.  At the LRI we place great emphasis on our international PhD student programme - students are at the core of our scientific community and we are committed to training the next generation of research scientists. This commitment is reflected in the way we recruit and train our students, then advise them to as they prepare for the next stage of their career. Many of our former PhD students now head their own successful research laboratories at research institutes and universities throughout the world.

Our researchers take multi-disciplinary approaches to address fundamental questions in the areas of genome integrity and cell cycle, cellular regulatory mechanisms and the biology of tumours and tissues.

LRI students are funded by four-year non-taxable annual stipends of £21,000 plus payment of university tuition fees (EU and non-EU).

Quantitative Biology and Biophysics

Several of our group leaders are looking for students who are interested in using Quantitative Biology and Biophysics to address fundamental biological questions. You can find out more here.

The Francis Crick Institute

In 2015, LRI researchers will move into new interdisciplinary facilities at the Francis Crick Institute, being built opposite the St Pancras Eurostar terminal in central London. You can find out more here and in our PhD Programme brochure.
