The BBSRC Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) offers talented graduates in Agriculture, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mathematics, Materials, Natural Sciences, Psychology, Physics, Medical and Veterinary Sciences the opportunity to engage in the University’s globally-recognised research environment.

This four-year, fully-funded PhD programme offers projects aligned with the BBSRC strategic priorities in Agriculture and Food Security, Industrial Biotechnology and the Bioeconomy and World Class Bioscience (molecules, cells and organisms).

Students will spend time in the labs on three mini-projects within their chosen research area selected by the student before starting work on their chosen PhD project.

There are 50 PhD studentships available, starting October 2017.

Apply by Monday 12 December. Visit the BBSRC DTP website for more information and to download an application form, or contact bbdtp@nottingham.ac.uk
