Arthritis Research UK - PhD Scholarship round now open

Published by Arthritis Research UK: 16 June 2016

A limited number of prestigious PhD Scholarships are offered to encourage the best science graduates to embark on a research career in any discipline with relevance to arthritis and related musculoskeletal diseases. Applications are particularly encouraged from those aspiring to join the next generation of talented independent investigators interested in developing ambitious, interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to health and biomedical research.

These awards offer up to 4 years funding to successful applicants, which includes a generous tax-free incremental stipend, UK tuition fees only and enhanced running costs.

Applications are invited from proposed supervisors for projects that have clear relevance to the aims of Arthritis Research UK, and which will provide training in research in a multidisciplinary environment. We encourage the inclusion of a named student on the proposal. Scholarships will be awarded by open competition for PhDs starting in 2017. Due to funding regulations applicants must be based in the UK.
