Opportunities

The UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing (IHA) is a centre of excellence for research on the biology of ageing and ageing-related diseases. From time to time the laboratories at the IHA have PhD opportunities not linked to the larger PhD programs. Details of these and opportunities to join the IHA are contained on this page.

BSc Biological Sciences 

Biological Sciences is at the centre of UCL’s world-leading research on biodiversity and environmental science as well as human genetics, healthy ageing and many more. Many current research experts from UCL and our partner institutes are actively involved in the teaching of the BSc and MSci in Biological Sciences. Our staff have included Nobel Prize Winners, including 2014 winner and current staff member, John O’Keefe. Students are able to choose from one of seven different specialist degree options after years one and two including Computational Biology, Biodiversity and Conservation, Genetics and more

IHA Fellowships

There are two different processes for Fellowships at the IHA. The first is for Independent Fellowships. These are suitable for researchers with some postdoctoral experience who are ready to start up their own independent research programme.

The second is Short Term and Post Doctoral Fellowships. These are suitable for researchers who have recently completed a doctorate.

We always welcome enquiries from prospective Fellows, if you are interested in joining the IHA as a fellow please contact us to discuss possibilities.
