Both courses are hosted by the Department of Clinical Neurosciences. The deadline for proposals is the 31st of July 2026.
Please do consider hosting an MPhil student in your lab. Students are supported by £2,500 bench fees, and students from taught courses do not count towards supervision limits. For both MPhil courses, lectures are scheduled for Michaelmas term, leaving January-July 2027 free for research activities. Both early-career (e.g., postdoctoral or fellowship positions) and senior research staff are encouraged to submit proposals. You may submit more than one proposal and supervise more than one student.
We invite researchers to submit proposals for research relating to medical devices, advanced therapies, and/or brain health and repair. There is a single proposal form for both taught courses, and your project will be advertised to students on one, or both courses, depending on the topic of research (we will advise further during or after submission).
You will receive a full shortlist of student candidates in August 2026, for you to arrange all meetings/interviews required.
Please complete this form to submit a proposal: Taught MPhil Research Project proposal form for supervisors, or contact Nick Haywood for any questions: nh572@cam.ac.uk.
