The UK Wellcome Trust launches new PhD studentships in several fields.
The Wellcome Trust is planning to provide funding for 100 new PhD positions in biomedical translational research in UK and Irish universities. The charitable trust, based in the United Kingdom, aims to create four PhD programmes, each lasting five years and funding five new graduate students per year, for research in areas highlighted by the trust this year as key to its ten-year strategic plan — applying genomics and genetics to understanding disease, brain and mental disorders, infectious disease, ageing and chronic disease, and links among environment, nutrition and health. The closing date for preliminary applications to create and direct one of the four programmes is 11 May and winners will be announced in December.
