PhD Studentships at the LRI

LRI PhD students in Lincoln's Inn Fields squareStudying for a PhD is an exciting, challenging and stimulating experience that forms the foundation for your subsequent scientific career.

Here at the London Research Institute we place a great emphasis on our graduate student programme and recognise that graduate students are a key part of our academic community.

Students are funded for four years with a non-taxable stipend of £18,500 (inner London - Lincoln's Inn Fields) or £17,220 (outer London - Clare Hall) for the first year, with annual increments thereafter. Most of our students are funded by Cancer Research UK studentships, but some students are funded through other sources, including Overseas Research Student awards, Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds and the Gulbenkian Foundation.

Applications for entry to our 2008 programme have now closed. Please visit the site in October 2008 for details of the 2009 PhD studentship programme.

Shortlisted candidates will receive an invitation to interview by Friday 21 December 2007. Interviews for PhDs at our Clare Hall laboratories will be held from Sunday 3 February to Tuesday 5 February 2008. Interviews for PhDs at our Lincoln's Inn Fields Laboratories will be held from Wednesday 6 February to Friday 8 February 2008.
