ICR-CTSU PhD studentships

This page highlights our PhD studentships. For current opportunities visit the ICR's main PhD project page.

Our PhD studentships benefit from inter-disciplinary clinical and methodology supervisory teams. Students are involved in real-life development and implementation of novel aspects in our clinical trials.
