University of Cambridge PhD Programme for Clinicians (360G-Wellcome-204017_Z_16_Z)
This programme recruits clinicians of outstanding calibre nationwide. With the largest concentration of biomedical science in Europe in laboratories on the Campus or wider Cambridge, we offer research training of highest quality that spans the spectrum from basic science through experimental medicine to epidemiology and public health. Strong, ongoing, mentorship is central to our programme; this, coupled with carefully chosen placements in laboratories empowers fellows to make better-informed choices of research and supervisor, including interdisciplinary projects. During PhD training, we aim to maximise their potential to acquire research skills and achieve a doctorate linked to significant discoveries and publications. With continued, intensive, guidance postdoctorally via established mechanisms, we guide fellows into pathways (e.g. higher research fellowships, clinical lecturer posts) that are tailored to individual progress, balancing re-entry into clinical training with maintaining research momentum. Our vision is to strengthen and broaden this model to include fellowships at veterinary and MBPhD level; and, in partnership with the University of East Anglia, extend opportunities to trainees throughout the region and add research diversity with a new theme in Gastroenterology, Nutrition and Microbiology. The longterm aim of the programme is to produce the next generation of clinical academics.
