Outstanding research training will be provided at the internationally recognised Department of Developmental Neurobiology at King's College London, utilising state-of-the-art techniques in various model systems. Projects will form part of three overlapping and interacting research programmes: Making a CNS: from Models to Human, Assembly and Plasticity of Neural Circuits and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Applications are welcomed from a wide range of academic backgrounds: from molecular and cellular biology, developmental biology, electrophysiology and computational neuroscience to the physical and mathematical sciences.

• Year 1 – MRes: three lab rotations, a taught course, a literature review, and seminars and workshops run by leading experts
• Year 2-4 – PhD: an original research project, transferable skills, seminars and conferences
