About this position
This 3-year PhD studentship, funded by Crohn's and Colitis UK (CCUK), is based at the Department of Pharmacology, University of Cambridge. The project aims to investigate the mechanistic basis of drug treatments for bowel urgency, a major cause of morbidity in people with colitis. Supervised by Dr David Bulmer, the research will focus on whether inhibiting rectal sensation can effectively treat bowel urgency, combining neuroscience and pharmacology approaches to address this important clinical challenge.
The studentship offers a unique opportunity to work at a world-leading institution, engaging in non-clinical research that bridges sensory neuroscience, gastrointestinal biology, and pharmacological intervention. The successful candidate will join a vibrant research environment in Cambridge, collaborating with experts in the field and contributing to advances in the understanding and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
Funding is provided by CCUK for the full duration of the PhD, covering tuition and stipend. Applicants should have a strong academic background in neuroscience, pharmacology, biology, or medical science, and demonstrate a keen interest in gastrointestinal disorders and drug mechanisms. The application deadline is 16 April 2026.
To apply, visit the FindAPhD project link and submit your CV and cover letter. For further information, contact the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Cambridge. This studentship is ideal for motivated graduates seeking to advance their research career in a high-impact area of medical science.
