The Department of Clinical Neurology invites applications from
postgraduate students, with good degrees (first or upper second class
honours degree or equivalent), for MRC studentships. The Department
has the resources to support one student for three years in
accordance with current MRC guidelines.
The Department has some 35 graduate students who are working in a
variety of areas of neuroscience. These include Neuroimmunology,
Neurogenetics, Neuroimaging (including MR Physics and Data Analysis),
Ion Channel Pathophysiology, Vascular Pathology and Stroke. A number
of departmental members are part of the Oxford Ion Channel Initiative
(OXION).
Research activities are located at four different sites. These
include The Weatherall Institute for Molecular Medicine, The Wellcome
Trust Centre for Human Genetics, the Centre for Functional Magnetic
Resonance Imaging of the Brain (FMRIB), and the Stroke Prevention
Research Unit. Research opportunities include excellent facilities
within these sites.
Students are actively involved in a variety of programmes and
seminars within the Department and more broadly with other University
departments. There is a rich exposure to a wide variety of
technologies, visiting speakers and the opportunity for travel to
national and international meetings and workshops.

eligibility requirements can be obtained by contacting Anne Taylor
