Some information on PhD and MSc opportunities in Bioinformatics at Imperial College

3 year PhD in Structural Bioinformatics with Prof Mike Sternberg

Thank you for your enquiry about PhD Studentships in my Laboratory. I expect to know if I have any UK Research Council PhD studentships in November 2003 for 3 years support starting on 1 October 2004. Details of eligibility are summarised below and further details can be found on the Imperial College web site under http://www.imperial.ac.uk/P1217.htm

You must have at least a 2.1 as your first degree from a good University. Strong preference is given to applicants who have substantial experience of developing computer programs. Experience of using existing programs is not considered as having this skill. Experience of biological sciences including bioinformatics is not essential, but helpful.The projects in my Laboratory will be based on modelling protein structure and function and the type of work can be found at http://www.sbg.bio.ic.ac.uk. .

Please watch this web site for details of when to apply. We are NOT accepting applications now.

UK Research Council eligibility for PhD studentship
  • UK citizens or closely associated with UK - fees and stipend (around £11k p.a.)
  • EU but non UK - fees only
  • Non EU - not eligible

    • 3 year PhD with other groups in Bioinformatics

    Please see http://www.imperial.ac.uk/bioinformatics under affiliates for details of other groups active in bioinformatics. For administrative reasons, I cannot forward your enquiries

    Wellcome Trust 4 year MSc/PhD

    There is also a Wellcome Trust 4-year MSc/ PhD programme in Bioinformatics and for details see http://www.imperial.ac.uk/bioinformatics under degrees. Please note the eligibility requirements are different from those of UK Research councils (stated above).

    MSc in Bioinformatics

    If you are interested in a PhD but consider you need to learn about developing code and bioinformatics, there is a one year MSc in Bioinformatics with details available at http://www.bio.ic.ac.uk/teaching/pg/Bioinf.htm. Please note I do not handle MSc admissions and for administrative reasons I am unable to forward your enquiries and applications.
