The University of Edinburgh, one of the world's top institutions for clinical, pre-clinical and health research, invites applications to the new Wellcome Trust 4-year PhD programme in Translational Neuroscience: Lifecourse influences on human brain health.
This prestigious, and innovative, research and training programme will focus on the advancement of knowledge, expertise and skills in clinical translation and will draw on Edinburgh’s unique research strengths in diseases across the life-course.
We are currently offering up to 8 studentships to start in September 2019.
Created and delivered by Edinburgh Neuroscience, this programme will train non-clinical students to combine cutting-edge experimental technologies (e.g. cellular, regenerative, computational, genetic, animal modelling) and analytical tools, with comprehensive knowledge of the clinical brain research environment. By doing so, we intend to equip students with the distinct skills required to bridge the knowledge gap between the design, execution and interpretation of cellular experiments and the challenges of experimental medicine.
With this in mind you spend your first year undertaking 3 mini-projects, one from each life course area (development, adolescence/adulthood, old age/degeneration) alongside bespoke teaching and clinic visits. Working with the programme directors and potential supervisors, you will develop your own PhD project towards the end of year 1.
