The Babraham Institute is a world-leader in fundamental biological research investigating the systems that underpin development and healthy ageing. It is a recognised postgraduate University Partner Institute of the University of Cambridge. Starting October 2020 a number of Studentships will be available leading to a University of Cambridge PhD degree. These studentships can be awarded for up to 3.5 or 4 years. In addition, studentships funded by a range of University of Cambridge funding schemes can be held at the Babraham Institute (see the student pages of our website here - https://www.babraham.ac.uk/vacancies-training/phd-programme) and for specific funding sources for EU and overseas graduate student at Cambridge, please visit here - http://www.graduate.study.cam.ac.uk/finance/funding
Please see our website (http://www.babraham.ac.uk/) and the BBSRC website (https://bbsrc.ukri.org/skills/) for details of eligibility and funding. Non-EU nationals must find funding for academic fees and personal support. In cases where applicants must find their own funding, we will require evidence that the level of funding is at least equal to the standard BBSRC/MRC PhD funding package.
Students will join a thriving scientific community situated on an attractive parkland campus near Cambridge. Our 60 students are all members of Cambridge Colleges and participate fully in University social and academic life - https://www.gradschl.lifesci.cam.ac.uk/
Details of our interactive scientific programmes can be found on the Babraham Institute website - http://www.babraham.ac.uk/.
