Who are we looking for?

We are looking to recruit outstanding graduates from a variety of backgrounds to a 4-year PhD programme in Data-Driven Health to work on internationally-competitive research projects, equipping them to exploit excellence in medical and informatics research for improving the health of local and national patient populations. The student will benefit from multi disciplinary supervision and opportunities for visits to our international partners.

EPSRC DRIVE-Health studentships offer an enhanced stipend per annum, over and above the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) rate. The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) will also provide funds for research project support – travel, conferences, etc.

Visit the Life at King's webpage to find out more about accommodation, living expenses, student opportunities and other important information to get a glimpse into student life at King's College London.

King's and DRIVE-Health are committed to actively and openly supporting and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and candidates with intersectional identities are welcomed.
