PhD Studentships

The Royal British Legion

 

The Royal British Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies (CBIS) at Imperial College London is housed within the leading Department of Bioengineering, attracting outstanding students and researchers from around the world. The Centre is comprised of multidisciplinary collaborations between military medical officers and civilian engineers and scientists that address difficult research issues with a clinically-led approach.

Studying the effects of blast injury develops and advances treatment, rehabilitation and recovery from injury while improving mitigation and promoting understanding of complex trauma. Students will benefit from a highly stimulating environment where they undertake a range of additional training and development opportunities as part of the Centre’s PhD cohort.

Studentships (2018-19)

Details of any future studentships will be added to the Opportunities page when available.


We do not have any CBIS studentship positions available at the current time. 

Studentships cover three years of Home-EU tuition fees and provide a 3-year, tax-free stipend at the standard Research Council United Kingdom rate (£16,999 per annum for 2019-20). In addition, a generous allowance is provided for research consumables and conference attendance.

Any non Home-EU applicants will need to show that they can cover the difference between the Home-EU and overseas tuition fee rates.

Please note that there are no studentships available at the current time.

For general enquiries about CBIS, its activities and opportunities, please contact us at cbis@imperial.ac.uk.

Regular Centre networking activities facilitate collaboration.

Two PhD students, both based in Bioengineering, discuss their research at the most recent CBIS Coffee Morning event, where the Centre's researchers catch up with each other.

Centre networking events facilitate team building.

New CBIS PhD students, like this one (right), benefit from Centre's networking and team-building events, which enable cohort building.

CBIS PhD students are key parts of building the Centre's networks.

CBIS PhD students contribute to building and participate in the activities of the Centre's networks, like the Surgical Training Network.

Celebrating success

The Centre comes together to celebrate the successes of its researchers, such as when Bioengineering-based PhD student and Centre Veterans Representative won Bronze in the 2016 Rio Paralympics.

CBIS postdoctoral researcher and former PhD student works with the AnUBIS (Anti-vehicle Underbelly Blast Injury Simulator), just one of the Centre's facilities that enables world-leading research.

CBIS researchers present their work at national and international events.

CBIS MD(Res) student presents his research and involvement in organising the inaugural Surgical Training Course at the Centre's 2016 Networking and Research Update Event.

Collaboration and cohort building go hand in hand, which is why the Centre holds event for its PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and academics to facilitate both.
