A unique cross-institutional PhD programme, integrated with industry and clinical research centres, which will prepare graduates for careers in industry, academic medical centres and as biomedical entrepreneurs
Molecular Medicine Ireland invites applications for a prestigious 4-year PhD programme, funded through Cycle 5 of the Government's Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions. The MMI Clinical & Translational Research Scholars Programme (CTRSP) will develop graduates with knowledge and skills to pursue disease-focused research and bridge gaps between basic scientists, clinical scientists and industry.
MMI scholars will be based in either NUI Galway, Trinity College Dublin, University College Cork or University College Dublin. Year 1 of this unique programme comprises taught modules and placements in industry, in academic research labs and in clinical research facilities. Scholars will then select PhD projects in areas including drug discovery, discovery/validation of biomarkers and patient-oriented research in clinical research facilities.
High-calibre candidates holding, or expecting to receive, a first-class or upper second-class honours degree in an appropriate discipline are encouraged to apply.
