The
Cancer Research UK PhD Training Programme in Medicinal Chemistry is
training a new generation of synthesis chemists to PhD level who are experienced
in cancer research.
This is a collaborative programme bringing together world-class research groups
with facilities in synthesis chemistry, pharmacology, biochemistry and cancer
biology. PhD applicants generally hold a Masters degree arising from a 4-year
degree course in Chemistry, some applicants have also taken an additional
year in industry as part of their undergraduate studies. However, it is not
an essential requirement that applicants hold qualifications in biology. During
the first year students begin their PhD level practical chemistry training
and are brought up to speed in cancer-focused research by a combination laboratory
rotations, workshops and hot topics. The transition to second year is marked
by students developing their own PhD proposals with projects inspired and
driven by individual interests and experience and interactions during the
first year.
Applications for 4 fully-funded PhDs starting
October 2010 are being accepted. The deadline is Sunday 31 January 2010 and
the interviews will be held in Cambridge on Tuesday 16th February 2010.
The CRUK PhD Training Programme in Medicinal Chemistry is generously funded
by Cancer Research UK.
