PhD studentships
PhD studentships are awarded for 3 or 4 years and may be funded by research agencies through specific research contracts awarded to the supervisor or by government or University scholarships awarded to the student. These scholarships include fees and a stipend and are open to candidates from all countries.
A wide range of potential topics are available and interested candidates should contact potential supervisors directly to discuss the possibilities.
Postdoctoral positions
Open postdoctoral positions are advertised on the NUI Galway human resources website and in the international scientific media.
Candidates interested in pursuing fellowship applications to national (IRCSET, HRB, Breast Cancer Campaign, Wellcome Trust etc.) or international (EMBO, HFSP, Marie Curie, etc.) agencies should contact potential supervisors directly.
Undergraduate summer studentships
Groups in the centre take on undergraduate students each year for 10-12 weeks over the summer for research experience. These students may be funded by local Science Foundation Ireland-funded UREKA programmes (see below), by grants from funding bodies such as the Biochemical Society or Health Research Board, or by the group directly.
Support is usually targetted at students about to enter their final year of study in biochemistry, and international candidates are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates should contact potential supervisors to discuss possible options.
