Applications open: fully-funded Wellcome Trust 4yr PhD programme: ‘One Health Models of Disease: Science, Ethics and Society’ (University of Edinburgh)
Dear colleagues <br> <br>Edinburgh Infectious Diseases and the Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society (CBSS), University of Edinburgh, are now open to receiving applications from the first cohort of students on a new Wellcome Trust-funded 4yr PhD programme: ‘One Health Models of Disease: Science, Ethics and Society’. This scheme is open to biomedical scientists, social scientists, and bioethicists. <br> <br>In Yr1, students on the programme will receive class- and lab-based bioscience training, as well as seminar-based learning in the ethical and social dimensions of techniques such as gene-editing. In Yrs2-4, students will complete their doctoral research, with students who are continuing down a social sciences/bioethics PhD pathway being supervised in CBSS by Sarah Chan, Agomoni Ganguli-Mitra, or me. Students on the CBSS pathway will, ideally, have a BSc in a biological sciences subject and an MA/MSc in a relevant social science (e.g. sociology, STS) or humanities (e.g. bioethics, law) discipline. <br> <br>The programme will start in October 2020 with a deadline for application of 12PM (GMT) on Thursday 16 January 2020. The programme will have an intake of 6 students per year, and is open to all students regardless of country of citizenship. All students will have their fees paid in full, and receive a tax-free starting stipend of £19,919 per annum - plus travel and research funds. Details are here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/program/wellcome-trust-funded-four-year-phd-programme-in-one-health-models-of-disease-science-ethics-and-society/?p4622 <br> <br>I’d be delighted to answer any questions for students wanting to do an STS/sociology/bioethics PhD as part of the programme (e.g. in the sociology of lab animal welfare, etc.). <br> <br>All the best <br> <br>Martyn <br> <br>_________________________________ <br> <br>Dr Martyn Pickersgill | Co-Director of Research <br>Usher Institute, University of Edinburgh <br>Old Medical School, Teviot Place, Edinburgh, EH8 9AG <br> <br>martyn.pickersgill@ed.ac.uk | +44 (0)131 650 3202 | He/Him <br> <br>Please note: My normal working days are Tuesday-Friday <br>Responses to emails are only expected during your working hours <br>[cid:image001.png@01D54859.93D2E9A0] <br>www.ed.ac.uk/usher | @EdinUniUsher <br> <br>[/Users/pcattana/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Outlook/Data/Library/Caches/Signatures/signature_921417845] <br> <br> <br> <br>The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336. <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
