PhD Studentship in the Developmental Biology and Cancer Department, UCL GOS ICH
About the role
Environment:
The student will be supervised by a neuroembryologist who is also the Institute of Child Health co-Departmental Graduate Tutor for research degrees, an anaesthetist who performs fetal anaesthesia, and a surgeon scientist with internationally-recognized expertise in stem cell biology.
This will provide interdisciplinary training in iPSC modelling of neural development and disease. These models will replace animal use in fetal anaesthesia research, which are inherently limited because of differences in developmental timelines between humans and animals.
This Studentship presents a unique opportunity to conduct supervised research at and be a part of the research community, being an integral part of the exciting and thriving research team.
About you
Applicants should have, or expect to receive, at least an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree or a Master’s degree (or equivalent work experience) in a relevant discipline, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
Previous experience of cell culture models is essential, and experience culturing iPSC cells is desirable. The successful candidate will have a demonstrable commitment to a career in research and ability to work as part of large multi-di sciplinary team while taking ownership for the progress of their own project.

The student will receive a starting stipend of £21, per annum (including London weighting) as well as the cost of tuition fees based on UK fee status. The studentship also provides consumables costs to carry out the proposed research.
