Apply to the Sanger Institute's 4-year PhD and 3-year Clinical PhD Programmes
The Sanger Institute's PhD programmes train the next generation of world-class genome scientists.
4-year PhD students receive full financial support, including Cambridge University tuition fees, regardless of nationality. Studentships are available across all our research areas. Application closing date: Thursday 28th November 2024 (09:00 GMT).
Clinical PhD fellowships are available for clinical health professionals with an aptitude for research and the potential to become future leaders in genomics, biomedicine and healthcare science. The programme is run in partnership with the PhD Programme for Health Professionals at the Universities of Cambridge and East Anglia. Application closing date: Tuesday 5th November 2024 (23:59 GMT).
Our Annual Highlights is out now
Discover how we use cutting-edge genomics and imaging technology to explore how the lungs, placenta and heart develop - powering future diagnostics and treatments.
Learn how we use saturation genome editing to understand the effects of changing every DNA letter of a gene - paving the way for personalised healthcare.
Read how we have built on our disease surveillance skills, honed during the COVID-19 pandemic, to guide public health decisions by understanding the value of vaccination to prevent cholera outbreaks.
Explore how we push the limits of DNA sequencing to create the reference genome library of all eukaryotic species in the UK and Ireland.
Join us as Head of Programme at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Lead cutting-edge Research in Human and Cellular Genetics
We are now seeking two long-term heads of Science Programmes in the broad area of human and cellular genetics and genomics. We are deliberately articulating these two opportunities broadly and collectively, rather than separately because we recognise that compelling scientific visions could encompass activities and/or expertises in both of the two current Programmes.
