About

We are looking to recruit outstanding postgraduate candidates to join our prestigious Wellcome Trust four-year PhD Translational Neuroscience programme at The University of Edinburgh. This is a prestigious, and innovative, research PhD programme that addresses a current global need in the translation of fundamental neuroscience research into the clinic. 

Overview

By 'Training to Translate' it focuses on the advancement of knowledge, expertise and skills in clinical translation and will draw on unique Edinburgh research strengths in diseases across the life-course to achieve this goal. This programme is run by the University of Edinburgh and funded by the Wellcome Trust.

The Translational Neuroscience programme at The University of Edinburgh will train non-clinical students to combine cutting-edge experimental technology (e.g. cellular, regenerative, computational, genetic, animal models) and analytical tools, with comprehensive knowledge of the clinical brain research environment. By doing so, it will equip students with the distinct skills required to bridge the knowledge gap between the design, execution and interpretation of cellular/animal experiments and the challenges of experimental medicine.

Facilities

You will have access to the full array of cutting edge techniques available within the broad Edinburgh Neuroscience community.

In addition, you will have access to, arguably, the UK’s most powerful series of longitudinal and cross-sectional human population cohorts for common brain diseases across the life-course.

Programme Structure

The Translational Neuroscience PhD Programme is a four-year training programme run by the University of Edinburgh and funded by The Wellcome Trust.

  • This is a PhD with integrated study, structured over four years and comprising of a three-year PhD project plus an additional 180 credits of integrated study. During Year 1 there is a mixture of taught and research work and you will develop to your PhD project towards the end of year one.
