PhD studentship (BJA/RCoA)

AIM

The studentship is intended to support a specific research project in Anaesthesia, Critical Care or Pain Management that will enable a home-EU-national student to register for a Ph.D. at a UK University.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants (supervisor) must be established members of Academic Departments of Anaesthetics, Critical Care and/or Pain Management or NHS Departments of Anaesthesia, Critical Care and/or Pain Management. The grant must be administered by one of these Departments and have the support of the head of that Department.

THE STUDENTSHIP

Preference will be given to projects that involve the application of basic science to Anaesthesia, Critical Care or Pain Management but clinical research projects will also be considered. The work will normally be done in a University science department. Preference will be given to projects involving co-operative research between a basic-science department and a clinical department.

THE SUPPORT

This is essentially fixed as follows:

• Stipend for 3 years at current MRC rates.
• Fixed contribution of £5,000 per annum towards running costs with the stipulation that this is not used for travel.
• University registration fees at home-EU student rate. The total cost of the studentship is therefore estimated at <£75,000
• BJA and RCoA decline to contribute to any other indirect costs
• The BJA and RCoA also ask applicants to note that the two bodies will wish to share any intellectual property rights and income arising from this work with the host institution.
