Imperial College London's Institute of Global Health Innovation (IGHI)
is pleased to announce the next round of PhD Studentships. The
Institute is working to improve the health of people and reduce health
inequalities throughout the world.
By channelling Imperial's interdisciplinary and pioneering research
strengths across its faculties and Business School, the Institute aims
to overcome scientific, technical, managerial and political obstacles
to respond to global healthcare challenges. The Institute is part of
Imperial's strategy to develop solutions to global challenges by
harnessing the critical mass of its multidisciplinary research
expertise.
The Institute comprises a series of research centres that reflect
Imperial's commitment to improving global health by capitalising on
innovation in medicine, engineering, health policy and systems, and
technology to address global health challenges associated with
demographic, environment, social and economic changes.
The PhD programme is open to UK/EU and overseas students. The funding
is for three years and covers both fees and living expenses. Research
progress is assessed each year and continuing receipt of funds will
depend on satisfactory academic progress. Ideal candidates will have
research interest in the following areas:

aetiopathogenesis
Building chemically aware surgical devices for real-time operative
diagnostics
Mass spectrometric chemical tissue imaging
Applicants should usually have a good 1st class undergraduate degree
