The Nottingham BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership

Four year PhDs available in the research areas Agriculture and Food Security, Bioscience for Health and Biotechnology - Starting October 2020

Thanks to £15m of funding awarded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent in partnership with the National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC) are able to offer a fully-funded innovative four-year doctoral training programme that will provide you with world-class training in biotechnology and biosciences. The DTP offers projects in three overarching research themes: agriculture and food security; bioscience for health; and biotechnology. There are 22 underlying research areas which cut across these three themes such as Ageing, Bioenergy, Crop Science, Immunology, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Pharmaceuticals and System Biology.

We offer a wide range of skills development opportunities to prepare you for your career, whether in academia, industry, science policy and communication, education or beyond. You will also become part of a community that exchanges ideas and experiences within and across student groups. You will work alongside your peers for the first six months of your studies, splitting your time equally between high-level training and laboratory rotations. You will also take part in a three-month placement during your third year.
