PhD Scholarships

A number of 3 or 4 year PhD scholarships are available each year for talented students who want to work in the Hunter research group. Details of how to apply can be found at http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/pgapp (in the application form, make sure you tick all the boxes in the section titled FUNDING PATHWAYS).

When you apply, you should also email a copy of the application forms, your CV and a research proposal (a one page outline of a project that you would like to work on in the Hunter lab) to herchelsmith.orgchem@ch.cam.ac.uk. Make sure you use the subject "Hunter Lab Vacancies" so that your email is not lost in a spam filter.

The deadline for applications for entry the following academic year is the end of October, so make sure you apply early.

Post-Doctoral Positions

Post-doctoral vacancies become available regularly, and these posts are advertised at http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/jobs. However, the timescale for filling these vacancies is usually short, so the best way to guarantee a place in the lab is to secure an independent fellowship. Links to some of the organisations that sponsor fellowships are provided below, but this list is not exhaustive, so it is worth doing your own research. Applicants should email a CV and a research proposal (a one page outline of a project that you would like to work on in the Hunter lab) to herchelsmith.orgchem@ch.cam.ac.uk. Make sure you use the subject "Hunter Lab Vacancies" so that your email is not lost in a spam filter.
