MRC-PPU Clinical PhD Fellowship
Two Clinical PhD Fellowships are available within the MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (MRC-PPU) in the fields of Cancer or Neurodegeneration
These Fellowships seek to provide state-of-the-art training in molecular research to ambitious medical graduates with an enthusiasm for biomedical research, seeking a career in academic medicine.
The MRC-PPU is a world-leading centre for understanding how defects in cell signalling pathways (with particular emphasis on protein phosphorylation and ubiquitylation) are linked to human disease. A key aim is to make research discoveries that stimulate new strategies to better diagnose and treat diseases in the future.
The Unit has 17 internationally recognised research groups involved in unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying a range of important human diseases including cancer, inflammation, anaemias, hypertension and neurodegeneration. The Unit is based in the College of Life Sciences at the University of Dundee, one of Europe's leading research institutes. It also has close links with Dundee Medical School and teaching hospitals.
We believe that we would be able to provide a fantastic environment to inspire and support talented and motivated medical graduates wishing to obtain training in fundamental research relevant to human disease.
In recent years the Unit has successfully trained clinicians undertaking Clinical PhD Fellowships and Clinician Scientist Fellowships. Dr Miratul Muqit, a Wellcome Trust Senior Clinical Fellow and Principal Investigator at the MRC-PPU, will play a key role in mentoring Clinical MRC-PPU Fellows.
We are also offering the possibility for potential candidates to undertake a 3-month trial research project in our Unit before embarking on a PhD.
Anyone interested can contact us at any time for further information. Please contact:
