Applications are currently being invited from prospective supervisors for Research Studentships to be held in departments of anatomical sciences in the UK and Ireland starting October 2026. The closing date for applications is midnight Tuesday 19th August 2025.

For the seventh year, the Society is reserving a studentship for an early career investigator (ECI). An ECI is a person with a lectureship or independent research fellowship who is within 12 years of being awarded a PhD, exclusive of career breaks, who has guaranteed employment for the duration of the studentship and who has not held an AS PhD Studentship previously. The application will be judged according to different criteria than the regular studentship submissions with more emphasis on project design and training provided than on track record. The proposal will still have to meet the high standard expected.
