The School of Biological Sciences at Plymouth University, UK, is
inviting applications for fully funded PhD studentships in the areas
outlined below.
Minimum qualifications are an MSc and/or a BSc at 2.1 level or above.
The studentship is supported for 3 years and includes full Home/EU

only fully fund those applicants who are eligible for Home/EU fees with
relevant qualifications. Applicants normally required to cover overseas
fees will have to cover the difference between the Home/EU and the
overseas tuition fee rates (approximately ~10,800 per annum).
The studentships are expected to commence on 1st October 2015, 1st January 2016 or 1st April 2016.
