MRC IMPACT Doctoral Training Partnership

Applications are now open for a range of exciting projects to study Complex Disease for a September 2020 start.

Interviews will take place the week commencing 17 February 2020.

The studentships will commence in October 2020, and a stipend (£15,009 for 2019/20) and fee waiver for 3.5 years is available for UK applicants, plus research training support grant, travel and laptop allowance.

Fully funded studentships are available for UK applicants. EU applicants who are able to confirm that they have been resident in the UK for at least three years before October 2020 may also be eligible for a full award. EU students who are not able to prove that they meet the residency criteria may apply for a fees only award.

IMPACT is a DTP funded by the MRC between three academic partners – the Universities of Birmingham, Nottingham and Leicester. Research projects within the DTP are focused around the theme of Complex Disease, which allows doctoral students to benefit from a diverse range of projects and skills within the cohort, stimulating students to think ‘outside the box’ and perform innovative, world-leading research. The DTP also provides the opportunity for students to benefit from the expertise of our research partner, the Research Complex at Harwell.
