We are pleased to invite applications for three year PhD studentships in the Medical Research Council Centre for Environment and Health (MRC-CEH) and two National Institute for Health Research funded Health Protection Research Units (HPRU) in Environmental Exposures and Health and in Chemical and Radiation Threats and Hazards.

The studentships will be based with one of the partners in the following units:

• Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics (EBS) at Imperial College London
• Environmental Research Group (ERG) at Imperial College London
• Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards (CRCE) at the UK Health Security Agency
• National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London

Our researchers are uniquely placed to lead collaborative projects nationally and internationally, producing high quality research in selected areas (see below) and working in collaboration with academic partners (e.g. MRC Toxicology Unit at the University of Cambridge), health and environmental agencies (e.g. US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, the Environment Agency, Transport for London) and industry (e.g. Bosch, Dyson Ltd, JCB) to translate this knowledge into policy and improve population health.

A key focus of our mission and strategy is to train and develop the next generation of academic and policy leaders in the field of environment and health research. Successful PhD candidates will be supported by a leading bespoke training programme to ensure they are equipped with the appropriate skills and experience to become first class researchers.

RESEARCH AREAS We are looking for outstanding candidates with an interest in environment and health research and with experience in at least one of the following areas:

• Environmental exposure assessment and epidemiology(including air pollution, noise, ionising and non-ionising radiation, waste management, water, climate change and health)
