Research Projects

PhD students at the LMB apply to join an individual research group, usually to do a defined project.

You are encouraged to contact prospective supervisors ahead of or during the application period.

Applications for 2026 LMB PhD places are now closed

PhD projects will be listed here when applications for LMB PhD places are open. Available projects will align with the research areas of our Group Leaders.

In exceptional cases, the LMB will consider applications for research-only MPhil students provided they obtain their own competitive funding and have the support of a Group Leader in the Institute.
