EASTBIO - the BBSRC East of Scotland Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership - is a partnership between the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and St Andrews; the Scottish Universities Life Sciences Alliance (SULSA); and the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA).  The Partnership was created in response to the establishment of BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTP) to provide PhD training in areas of strategic relevance to UK Bioscience and has been selected by the BBSRC as the largest of its 14 UK Doctoral Training Partnerships.

For students starting in 2012, 2013 and 2014 we will offer a minimum of 34 fully-funded 4 year PhD studentships, which provide an outstanding training programme. Each studentship covers tuition fees, a minimum stipend of £13590 per year and £5000 per year towards research training costs. Applications are now invited for 2012 from excellent UK students.
