GSK-based OpportunitiesCurrent opportunities

We are delighted to announce the continuation of our industry-based PhD programmes into 2024/25.

We can offer studentships, each of 3.5 years duration, across:

  • Medicinal & Process Chemistry
  • Chemical Biology
  • Structural Biophysics and Computational Approaches to Study Drug Targets
  • Biopharmaceticals

Students are registered with the University of Strathclyde and are co-supervised by Strathclyde academics and senior scientists at GSK.

The successful candidates will be based at the GSK site in Stevenage (R&D) and will have the opportunity to spend at least three months of the studentship period at the University of Strathclyde.

Opportunities in Chemistry

For this outstanding training and development opportunity, you will need or be in line to obtain:

  • a very good MSci or MChem degree, or equivalent, in chemistry;
  • excellent theoretical and practical skills, together with a dedicated attitude and the ability to provide creative and innovative solutions to complex problems;
  • to be highly motivated for chemistry and broader areas of science; and
  • strong communication skills.

Opportunities in Biopharmaceuticals

For this outstanding training and development opportunity, you will need or be in line to obtain:

  • a very good MSci or BSc degree in biological sciences, such as Biology, Biochemistry, or Biomedical Science;
  • excellent theoretical and practical skills, together with a dedicated attitude and the ability to provide creative and innovative solutions to complex problems;
  • to be highly motivated for biology and broader areas of science; and
  • strong communication skills.

Candidates, including current Final Year undergraduate students, should send a covering letter, highlighting specific area(s) of interest, and a CV along with detailed subject examination grades and contact information for two referees to uzy55557@gsk.com
