About the Project

The University of Edinburgh invites applications for a 4-year PhD programme in Cardiovascular Science. Research is focused on identifying causative mechanisms of cardiovascular disease. Students are training the The Centre for Cardiovascular Science, which is a British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence.

We offer 1 studentship to start in September 2023

Research environment: Our Research is investigator-led and based around four interlocking disease themes: Metabolism, Obesity and Diabetes, Cardiovascular Injury, Repair & Regeneration; Hypertension & Renal Disease; Cardiometabolic Imaging and Data Science. Supported by excellent core research facilities, our experimental strategy spans molecular genetics, cell biology, in vivo physiology and experimental medicine. Our training emphasizes translation and encourages integration of diverse skills in multidisciplinary research projects.

Programme Structure: The first year is a full Masters by Research in Cardiovascular Biology, incorporating core research-skills training across three 12-week project. Small-group tutorials, led by our clinical and scientific Pis are used to highlight recent advances in the literature. Workshops to develop transferrable skills, including critical reading, scientific presentation/writing and project planning, as well as research ethics are also a key component of the training. Taught and skills-based elements are credit bearing. Mandatory Student Led, Individually Created Courses (SLICCs) also allow students to gain credits for reflective/experiential training through understanding and interaction with other BHF-related activities such as public outreach, funding strategy, business development and epidemiological/societal impact of heart and circulatory disease.

PhD project: Project matching is a student-driven process and takes place towards the end of the first year. The experience gained during the first year enables each student to make an informed choice of research area/supervisory team, supported in this process by the Programme Director, Professor Matt Bailey. The PhD is undertaken from years 2-4 of the Programme and is distinct from the Masters.
