Month: February 2022

We invite University of Cambridge students to enter The Adobe Digital Edge Awards, an industry-recognised award, which credits the best student examples of digital literacy in the country. This is a fantastic opportunity for students who are applying to placement or grad roles, to demonstrate desirable employability skills such as creative thinking and communication.  

From engineering to geography, business to architecture, the Digital Edge Awards are open to all UK university students. To enter, students should submit coursework where they’ve showcased digital literacy skills – that’s work that shows off creative problem solving, critical thinking and visual communication! The awards are judged by a panel of experts, including the founder of RateMyPlacement, Oliver Sidwell!

As well as the opportunity to receive an accolade for their CV, two winners will receive a £9,250 cash prize, alongside six runner-up prizes of £1,000!

You can find out more about the awards here. Entries close 31 May.

This programme is designed for students who have a clear idea of the field in which they wish to work and who have solid laboratory or research experience. It provides the opportunity to undertake a PhD project that will make a novel contribution to scientific knowledge and understanding. Each studentship focuses on its own unique research project within one of our multiple research groups.

We currently have four fully funded 3.5 year studentships available through our SAMURII Studentship Scheme. These are for students looking to start their PhD in October 2022.

The studentships will focus on collaborative projects to explore and/or exploit translational potential within the Institute of Clinical Sciences (ICS, Imperial College London) and the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (LMS) research programmes. These will involve co-supervision between a supervisor at ICS/LMS and at Imperial College or an industry partner.

To apply for these studentships please complete an application form, which can be downloaded HERE and email to students@lms.mrc.ac.ukby Thursday 17 February 2022 23:59 (UK time).
