Postgraduate Research Opportunities in Anaesthesia

Our Division welcomes new research ideas and we will help the candidates to develop these into viable projects. Opportunities are available for DM/PhD studentships and Research Fellowships in any of the following research themes. The candidates must familiarise themselves with the ongoing research themes of the Division, as there are many opportunities for them to participate in any of these. The applicants and fellows are encouraged to discuss plan of their research with Professor Ravi Mahajan, Professor Jonathan Hardman and/or Dr Iain Moppett.

Learn more about studying for a postgraduate research degree at the School of Clinical Sciences. See also current available self-funded PhD projects.
