PhD studentship in statistical genetics at King’s College London
We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic PhD student to join the group, undertaking one of the projects listed under the ‘Biomarkers and Genomics’ theme below. There are several statistical projects listed, including those projects on dissecting the genetic component to depression symptoms (BGEN-2.01), working on polygenic risk score methods (BGEN-2.02). Other projects in Bioinformatics and Statistics theme may also be of interest.
These studentships would be suitable for those with a strong statistical background, and full training in statistical genetics will be given.

These studentships are offered in the following BRC research areas:
• Biomarkers and Genomics (1 x 3-year PhD studentship)
• Clinical and Population Informatics (1 x 3-year PhD studentship)
• Bioinformatics (1 x 3-year PhD studentship)
• Bioinformatics and Statistics (1 x 3.5 year PhD studentship)
• Obesity, Lifestyle and Learning from Extreme Populations (3 x 3-year PhD studentships)
These awards are funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) through the Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London.
Our aim is to pioneer multidisciplinary translational research and experimental medicine in the areas of mental health and neuroscience.
To achieve this we select the best students and provide them with excellent training, tailored flexibly to their individual needs and interests. We will equip them with the intellectual and technical skills that are needed for the future of translational research, and complement this with key transferable skills (including public engagement, business development and entrepreneurship) to ensure that they emerge as well-rounded scientists, prepared for their next career stage. Our excellent clinical setting will ensure all students benefit from an understanding of the context of their research and produce scientists with a strong translational ethos.
SLaM is the UK’s largest NHS mental health service provider with a long history of involvement in translational research and training in partnership with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London.
The IoPPN is the largest academic community in Europe dedicated to the study, treatment and prevention of mental health problems and neurodegenerative disease. We are the world’s leading centre for mental health research in terms of citations of our publications and in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework the IoPPN was judged to have 100% world leading impacts and 100% world leading research environment.
We offer excellent opportunities for research training in basic and clinical science across the mental health spectrum including its interface with physical health, precision psychiatry, novel therapeutics and translational informatics. Studying at the IoPPN you will benefit from world class research and clinical facilities plus internationally recognised supervisors.
