The Alison Brading Studentship is a new three-year award funded jointly by the Department of Pharmacology and Lady Margaret Hall.

The studentship pays the College and University fees for Home/EU students and a generous stipend of £18,000 per annum (2011/12 rates) which is tax free.

The Department of Pharmacology is one of the top pre-clinical sciences departments in the country and is recognised internationally for the quality of its research.  We have excellent facilities for research and teaching and offer a range of projects in areas such as calcium signalling, neuropharmacology and cardiovascular pharmacology. In memory of Professor Brading, who exemplified how curiosity-driven research may lead to changes in clinical practice, we are keen to receive applications from any area relevant to pharmacology.

The studentship will be awarded to a DPhil student starting at the beginning of the academic year in October 2012. The closing date for applications is 6^th January 2012.  

Applicants for PhD places in the Department are expected to have a minimum of an upper second-class undergraduate degree (or equivalent for non-UK students) primarily in a biological or chemical science, but applications from high-calibre candidates with mathematical and physical science backgrounds would be welcomed.   Applicants should submit an online application by the deadline; paper applications will not be considered.
