MRC funded Centre for Causal Analyses in Translational Research (CAiTE)

4 year PhD studentships with a specific focus on causal analyses and translational epidemiology are available through the MRC funded Centre for Causal Analyses in Translational Research (CAiTE), which is also based in the Department of Social Medicine.
The programmes provide broadly based research training in molecular and clinical epidemiology, molecular and statistical genetics, bioinformatics and genetic laboratory skills. The initial year of training in each Programme involves seminars, taught modules and short projects with researchers attached to each of the Programmes’ themes. Students can then make an informed choice of their main PhD project and supervisor.
Tuition fees at the rate applicable to Home (EU) students are provided by the Wellcome Trust and MRC in support of the 4-year PhD Programmes. Overseas applicants (for Wellcome only) must be in confirmed receipt of an Overseas Research Scholarship award to cover the shortfall in funding.
The closing date for receipt of applications is Friday 6th March 2009.
