Studentships in Primary Health Care 2013

Applications are invited from individuals with a strong academic record who wish to develop a career in primary care research. These 3 year awards are offered in national competition at these Universities within the NIHR School for Primary Care Research: Keele, Manchester, Oxford and Southampton. Details of the specific research training opportunities available at each University can be found here - Studentships.

As the four Universities do not always offer mentorship in every discipline relevant to primary care, it is possible to apply for a “linked” award so that applicants can benefit from training within the School but maintain a link with, or be primarily based within, a University outside the School that can provide discipline-specific mentoring. In these cases, the linked SPCR partner must be agreed and specified in the application.

Awards will normally be taken up in October 2013.

Applicants must have a first degree in a discipline relevant to primary care research and will be expected to complete a PhD/DPhil during the award period. The precise academic qualifications required depend on the University and training offered. Students must be defined as "home/EU" for fee purposes to be eligible to apply for this award.

Studentship awards include fees, an annual tax-free stipend of £18,000 and a non-pay allowance of up to £30,000.
