PhD studentships in clinical trials and methodology
10 Feb 2022
We currently have opportunities to apply for fully-funded PhD studentships based at the MRC Clinical Trials Unit. Our students undertake research that aims to improve patient care by improving the way in which the healthcare evidence base is developed, often linked to current or recent clinical trials and supported by staff within the Unit. Our projects span a variety of topics related to improving clinical trials and the health of society including:
- Improving how clinical trials are conducted
- Developing new existing clinical trial designs
- Identifying better ways to analyses clinical trial data
- Understanding how the results of clinical trials can best inform practice
- Expanding evidence synthesis techniques to make the most of clinical trial data
Successful applicants, who will enrol in September 2022, will be funded at current MRC rates for 3 years, including tuition fees at the UK student rate, a Research Training and Support Grant (RTSG) and stipend (to include London Weighting). Overseas students are eligible to apply for additional funding to cover overseas fees.
