The Centre aims to fund up to three PhD studentships commencing in
October 2008, for projects falling within its remit. These may be held
in any relevant department within the University or affiliated
institutes. Details of projects available and contact details for
supervisors are given at the bottom of the page.
The studentships will be awarded on a competitive basis and applicants
will be expected to demonstrate both a strong academic background and
aptitude for research.
Students will receive instruction and guidance principally from their
supervisor in a supportive and stimulating environment, but also attend
formal training courses.
Further information is available from the Graduate School
http://www.biomed.cam.ac.uk/gradschool/prospective/ .
The studentships will be fully funded at Wellcome Trust rates for three
years of full-time research, and are open to UK, EU and overseas
students. However, if a candidate who is offered a studentship also
obtains substantial funding from another awarding body, this will be
taken into account in determining the level of the award. The Centre is
also willing to consider hosting students for the PhD who have already
secured independent funding. For information regarding the costs of PhD
training in Cambridge please refer to the Board of Graduate Studies'
website http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/ .
Requirements
Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, at least an upper second
class honours degree in a relevant biological subject. For overseas
students the minimum undergraduate GPA for entrance into the University
is 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale), and those for whom English is not their native
language should see the Board of Graduate Studies' guidelines regarding
Competence in English.
Research students are initially admitted without being registered for a
particular degree, and are then registered for the PhD on satisfactory
completion of a report at the end of their first year of study.
Application procedure
We encourage all applicants to make initial informal enquiries of
individual members of the Centre regarding their projects on offer. Once
you have identified a potential supervisor and project you should make a
formal application as follows:
1) Complete a GRADSAF application form available from the Board of
Graduate Studies' website http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/gradstud/
and return to the Board by January 31st 2008 at the latest. That form
combines admission to the University with admission to a college. King's
College is pleased to consider applicants who are offered the Centre's
studentships, and so you may wish to indicate this college as your first
choice. However, admission to this particular college cannot be
guaranteed and candidates should indicate a second choice. Candidates
from outside the EU who return the GRADSAF form by 14 December 2007 will
also be considered for ORSAS awards.
2) Send a curriculum-vitae, a half-page personal statement outlining
your motivation for research at the Centre, two confidential academic
references in sealed envelopes, and, if possible, a transcript of your
undergraduate results to:
Ms Aileen Briggs,
Graduate Administrator,
Centre for Trophoblast Research,
Physiology Building,
Downing Street,
Cambridge CB2 3EG, UK
Both elements of the application must arrive by January 31st 2008, and
incomplete applications cannot be considered.
Short-listed candidates will be interviewed in person or by telephone
during February, and decisions should be communicated by the end of
March.
