UCL Institute of Neurology

The MRC Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases is a partnership between the UCL Institutes of Neurology and Child Health, and Newcastle University, and is a recognised centre of excellence for clinical research training and education in neuromuscular diseases.

The Leonard Wolfson Experimental Neurology Centre is launching an exciting Clinical Fellowship and four year PhD programme in neurodegeneration research. This degree will provide an unrivalled opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research under the supervision of world-class basic science and clinical researchers. We are inviting highly motivated students, interested in using interdisciplinary approaches to address a wide variety of questions in neurodegeneration research, and advance our understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative disease (NDD) to apply for these programmes. The PhD programme is aimed at graduates with a strong interest in multidisciplinary research and applications are invited from students with a background in the biological, physical, and chemical sciences. For the Clinical Fellowships, candidates should demonstrate not just an interest in neurodegeneration research but a clear intention to pursue a career in academic clinical research.
