Industrial CASE studentships - Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC)

General Information:

The Industrial CASE Studentship Competition will award Doctoral Training Grants (DTGs) to support collaborative postgraduate research studentships.

By creating the option for a supervisor-led proposal, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is seeking to attract high quality proposals from a wide range of academic staff who wish to be involved in establishing robust collaborative training projects with industrial partners.

‘Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering’ allow students to receive high quality research training in collaboration with an industrial partner.

They are 4-year doctoral training grants for top quality bioscience graduates to undertake research (leading to a PhD) on a subject selected and supervised jointly by academic and industrial partners.

All Industrial CASE research students are based at a university (or other eligible research organisation), but must spend part of their time with the company.

It is expected that the company will provide a placement for a period of between 6 and 18 months.

The company is required to ensure sufficient time is allocated during the placement to fulfil all aspects of the training being provided
