Applications close on 23 January 2023.
The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has opened applications for four PhD studentships in Food Systems.
Although animal health and welfare research is what the RVC is best-known for, the broader social, human health and environmental impacts of food production.
Students under the studentships will be supported by the UK Food Systems Centre for Doctoral Training, of which the RVC has been an active member since its creation.
Four studentships are available at the RVC, and interested parties have until 23 January 2023 to submit an application.
Aimed at graduates with a strong interest in multi-disciplinary research and interdisciplinary food systems perspectives, the graduate programme lasts for 4 years.
Further information on the cohort now open for applications can be found on the Centre for Doctoral Training website. An online information session will be held on Tuesday 10 January 2023 for prospective applicants.
Professor of Animal Welfare at the RVC, Christine Nicol explained: “Studying at the RVC will provide you with a deep understanding of systems thinking.
“You will work alongside global research leaders in animal health and welfare and take part in research and discussions about the ethics, human health, and environmental impacts of including animals in food systems. We will support you all the way!”
The BEVA has opened two new roles on its Nurse Committee.
