Benefits of a PhD Position
The ESR Journey
Gaining your PhD with Health CASCADE won’t provide the usual PhD experience. It will provide prestige as well as distinctive advantages and practical benefits.
First and foremost you will become part of an Innovative Training Network. You will be supervised not only by leading European scientists but also have access to academic and industry experience, combined with specialised training. You will be provided with the skills and tools to move from an early stage researcher (ESR) to a leader in your field, whilst co-creating a new scientific discipline and evidence base to address public health issues.
On your PhD journey, you will conduct your own research guided by our team based at seven universities, spending time also in industry, healthcare, and social enterprise settings. You will be exposed to cutting edge technology and methodologies in cross-cutting fields and develop and deliver effective training techniques. You will discover how to communicate effectively about your work and its relevance to society and individuals, creating research impact.
You won’t be alone. You will have personal mentors in academia and industry who you will meet regularly, as well as collaboration and networking opportunities with the cohort of 14 further PhD Health CASCADE students based across Europe.
With Health CASCADE, you will acquire a unique set of academic, scientific, and entrepreneurial skills, a multi-disciplinary network of contacts, practical work experience, as well as a portfolio of scientific publications.
Finally, PhD positions with Health CASCADE, a prestigious EU-funded MSCA project, provides a high salary, with specific financial help for travel, and for your family as appropriate.
