The Oliver Gatty Studentship for full-time study and research training in the fields of Biophysical and Colloid Science is open to graduates in the broad area of biophysics and colloid research, preference being given to graduates of universities outside Great Britain. The Studentship is tenable for up to three years, subject to satisfactory assessment of the Department's graduate committee at the end of the first year. The Studentship is intended to cover full costs (College fees and subsistence) and its value will be determined by the Electors, after taking into account the Student's circumstances and the funds available.
One Studentship has become available from October 2008. Candidates should identify a supervisor and agree on a proposed course of research before making an application. A list of department websites and courses can be found through the Board of Graduate Students website (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/gsprospectus/subjects/). Applications, including a curriculum vitae and a clear statement of the proposed research should be sent to the Registrary (addressed to the Awards Clerk), The Old Schools, Cambridge, CB2 1TN. Applications must be accompanied by the names of two referees who have been asked by the applicant to send references direct to the Registrary by the closing date of 20 June 2008. The successful candidate will then be required to make a formal application to the Board of Graduate Studies.
For administrative reasons an application form PD18 (available from http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/personnel/forms/pd18/) should also be completed and sent to the Registrary (address as above).
The University values diversity and is committed to equality of opportunity.
