Multiple Fully Funded PhD Studentships at the Rosalind Franklin Institute, Harwell Campus, Didcot, England

The Rosalind Franklin Institute, the UK institute for technology development in life science funded by the UK government, harnesses the physical sciences to understand human disease and its effects on the body. 

We drive bold and innovative technology development through interdisciplinary collaborations across our scientific research teams.  This includes developing electron microscopes which are capable imaging of biological molecules in motion and reaching near atomic level resolution, as well as building a unique multimodal imaging mass spectrometer, alongside the production of novel chemical ligands or protein binders to allow the targeting of specific sites of interest within cells, tissues, or organisms.

We are recruiting students from any scientific, mathematical, engineering or computing discipline to work on the development of instruments across our research teams.

This is a one-of-a-kind, fully funded PhD programme, which provides high-level interdisciplinary skills training, individual mentoring, access to industrial collaborations through a team of world-leading supervisors and new

laboratory facilities. Franklin PhD students will have a wide-ranging choice of projects, which will have real-world impact and collaborate with universities and partners across the UK.

We are recruiting on a rolling basis throughout the year - please submit your application as soon as you can, as there will be ongoing application reviews.
