4 Year Rotation PhD in Plant Science & Microbiology

During the first year (the rotation year), the student will spend 10 weeks in each of three laboratories working with a different supervisor. The individual research projects will be selected by the student once they have arrived at JIC/SL. The experimental approaches encompass plant and microbial genetics, genomics and cell biology through to molecular biology, biological chemistry and computational biology. The objective is to gain a broad-based technical and theoretical training prior to the selection of an individual topic for a 3-year research project with one particular supervisor, completing and submitting the PhD thesis within the 4-year time frame.

Funding:
The four-year scholarship covers an attractive stipend of min. £16,590 pa. All university tuition fees will be paid. The student will also have access to a discretionary fund of £2,000 over the 4 years to be used for training and career development relevant to their PhD.
