PhD positions
We are always keen to hear from prospective PhD students interested in joining the lab. However, PhD positions are dependent upon funding being available. PhD funding is typically provided by doctoral training programmes at King’s, such as the MRC DTP . In general, places for international students (those not eligible for home fees) are somewhat limited, so please check the relevant websites for details.

Postdoctoral positions
We currently don’t have any open postdoctoral positions in the lab.
Research assistant positions
We do not currently have any open research assistant positions. As a rule we do not take on volunteer research assistants as it can promote inequality of opportunity.
Internships/visits
We are generally happy to host visits/internships as part of taught/research degree programmes etc. Please contact Toby to discuss further.
