PhD Students
LSHTM is part of the ESRC’s UBEL Doctoral Training Partnership. Studentships are advertised towards the end of each calendar year, for entry the following autumn.
LSHTM is also part of the BBSRC’s London Interdisciplinary Training Programme. Studentships are advertised around the middle of each calendar year.
The Bloomsbury Colleges Consortium offers funding for studentships supervised across at least 2 of the Bloomsbury Colleges (LSHTM, Birkbeck, SOAS, Royal Veterinary College).
LSHTM also hosts a webpage with details of funding opportunities for potential PhD students.
Postdoctoral Fellowships/Early Career Researchers
The following is a partial list of sources of potential fellowship funding:
ESRC Secondary Data Analysis Initiative – open call and requires the inclusion of at least one early career researcher as Principal Investigator.
BBSRC Postdoctoral Fellowships
Nuffield Foundation grants.
