Other funded clinical PhDs

The Faculty of Medicine is one of the largest in Europe and is at the forefront of translating biomedical discoveries into patient benefit. We offer an extensive range of postgraduate clinical and doctoral training programmes. Featured below are some of the programmes available, for a comprehensive list of all PhD schemes available in the Faculty please visit PhD opportunities

Doctoral Training in AI for Healthcare

The UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Healthcare brings together world-leading expertise to train innovators who will push forward the frontiers of AI in healthcare and develop new and wider types of AI application. We are open to clinical PhD fellows who are enthusiastic to develop leading edge AI approaches for healthcare in a multidisciplinary setting. Our cohort-based PhD training offers expert supervision and mentoring and integrates the development of technical skills with an appreciation for approaches to human-in-the-loop AI designs that are ethically and socially acceptable.

Chain-Florey Clinical Research Fellowships

Jointly funded by the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (MRC LMS) and the NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) these PhD fellowships are for clinical trainees looking to pursue a career as an academic clinician. The Chain-Florey Clinical Research Fellowships introduce trainees to cutting edge scientific research with a strong emphasis in basic science which can be applied to clinical problems. Fellows are expected to carry out their research in one of the LMS’s basic science groups and have three years to complete their PhD.

Further details can be found on the MRC LMS Website

Imperial College Wellcome Trust/GSK Translational Medicine

This programme is designed to train the next generation of clinical scientists in experimental medicine. A central theme is the application of the new tools of clinical investigation, particularly clinical imaging, to the evaluation of novel medical interventions in humans. Successful recruits to the programme have the opportunity to match a project suitable to their medical career goals, to be undertaken during a three-year PhD.

MRC Centre for Molecular Bacteriology and Infection

The MRC Centre for Molecular Bacteriology & Infection (CMBI), is a cross-faculty, multi-disciplinary research centre with a unique focus on the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying bacterial pathogenesis, antibiotic resistance and persistence and host innate response to bacterial infections. Specifically, the focus of CRTF PhDs will be on providing future clinical academics with the cutting-edge knowledge and analytical skills that will enable them to pursue high quality and clinically relevant independent research in the field of bacterial infection biology.
