Postgraduate studentships available from October 2010

Applications are invited for PhD studentships in environment and health within the MRC-HPA Centre for Environment and Health. The Centre is a joint collaboration between Imperial College and King’s College London with the mission to become an international centre of excellence for research and training on the health effects of environmental pollutants.
The programme offers opportunities to investigate the association of a wide range of health outcomes with environmental factors. We particularly seek candidates with a strong interest in cardio-respiratory disease, reproductive, environmental and spatial epidemiology, environmental sciences, risk assessmenti and modelling, air and water pollution, biomarkers, environmental toxicology, biostatistics and metabonomics. Students will be part of a multidisciplinary team and will benefit from a strong and well-established training environment.
The Centre has up to twelve three- and four-year studentships available to commence from October 2010. Studentships will pay UK/EU tuition fees and a stipend. All candidates must fulfil College admissions criteria. For eligibility and stipend details please see MRC requirements: http://www.mrc.ac.uk/Fundingopportunities/Applicanthandbook/Studentships...
