Funded PhD positions- There are currently the following opportunities for funded PhD positions for a 2012 start:
- >>> Graduate Teaching Assistant positions at Birkbeck. These combine a part-time
PhD position with a teaching assistant position in the Department of Biological Sciences.
See details
here.

- If you have already applied for the
Wellcome Trust 4-year PhD Interdisciplinary Programme ,the BBSRC London
Interdisciplinary Biosciences PhD consortium studentships scheme, or the ISMB Interdisciplinary MRC PhD Programme

Self-funded PhD applicants- We accept applications from students with a strong undergraduate degree (2.1 and above or equivalent) or a strong Masters
degree (at least Merit or equivalent) from recognised Institutions around the world. Both part-time and full-time PhD
applicants are welcome. Students who are not native speakers of English
must fulfill the eligibility criteria listed here.
- Please feel free to contact me regarding potential projects but I will require the following before considering your application: a) Two
academic references, b) a CV, c) a statement on why you are interested in working in my group and which areas you are mostly
attracted to, d) an informal interview (could be done remotely over Skype). If you pass this stage, you should then apply through
the formal application process that is available online from the Birkbeck webpages. Your application will then be considered separately by
a graduate committee in the department who will also decide on whether you should be called for a formal interview.
As an additional requirement for a computational PhD, I will ask you to sit a 30-minute test that is meant to assess
your aptitude for computational work (this test may not be necessary for people with obvious programming qualifications).
- The fees for the current academic year can be found under:
Birkbeck Biological Sciences PhD / MPhil
Please also note that the cost of living in London is estimated at approximately 10,000 GBP per annum.

Internships - undergraduate and other- Applications for internships from undergraduate and graduate students
are welcome. You will need to provide the following: a) a CV, b) at least
one academic reference, c) a statement explaining why you want to do an
internship in my group and how you are planning to fund yourself.

possible to host a student.
