About the programme
Established in 1983, the EMBL International PhD Programme provides students with the best starting platform for a successful career in science. Characterised by first-class training, internationality, dedicated mentoring and early independence in research, it is among the world's most competitive PhD training schemes. All of EMBL's five outstations participate in the programme. EMBL-EBI provides a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary environment in which research and service provision are closely allied. We are a world leader in bioinformatics research and service provision, as we are at the centre of global efforts to collect and disseminate biological data. We share a campus with the Wellcome Trust's Sanger Institute, 12 miles south of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, and hold an Open Day every year in the autumn. You can read our Our Research at a Glance brochure to learn about current research at EMBL. EMBL PhD students at EMBL-EBI are members of the University of Cambridge and one of its colleges. They receive their degree from Cambridge University; the programme is coordinated in Heidelberg with local support at EBI. Please visit the EMBL International PhD Programme pages to learn about how to apply. Information on the PhD projects available at the EMBL-EBI will be announced shortly. Application for Spring Recruitment 2015 is now open. Please apply here. Students admitted to the University of Cambridge BBSRC DTP Programme for PhD study are also eligible to apply to work at EBI for their main 3-year PhD project that follows the programme's initial MRes (training courses and rotations) year.PhD project timeline
