Graduate Students
Overview of graduate studentships at the LRI
Applications for the 2012 PhD Programme are now closed
Doing a PhD is an exciting, challenging and stimulating experience that forms the foundation for your subsequent scientific career. Here at the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute (LRI) we place great emphasis on our PhD student programme - graduate students are at the core of our scientific community.
Our Institute has an international reputation for research into the basic biology of cancer and is committed to training the next generation of cancer research scientists. This commitment is reflected in the way we recruit and train our students, then prepare and advise them as they move on to the next stage in their career. Indeed, many of our former PhD students now head their own successful research laboratories at research institutes and universities throughout the world.
Our researchers take on multi-disciplinary approaches to address fundamental questions in the area of genome integrity and cell cycle, cellular regulatory mechanisms and the biology of tumours and tissues.
LRI students are funded by four-year Cancer Research UK studentships. Students starting in September 2012 will receive a non-taxable annual stipend of £21,000. University tuition fees (EU and non-EU) are also covered.
