PhD Studentships at the LRI
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.
LRI students are funded by four-year Cancer Research UK studentships. Students starting in 2010 will receive a non-taxable annual stipend of £19,160 (inner London - Lincoln's Inn Fields laboratories) or £17,830 (outer London - Clare Hall laboratories), with annual increments thereafter. University tuition fees (EU and non-EU) are also covered.
