The safety of our candidates and of our staff in the Crick is of paramount importance. For this reason, given the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the additional logistical challenges that it poses, we have taken the decision to run our interviews for the 2021 Crick PhD programme by Zoom. This will be the case for all candidates, regardless of where they are currently based.
On Tuesday 11 May, candidates that have been invited to interview will be invited to take part in a virtual information session with the student team.
The interviews will take place Wednesday 12 and Thursday 13 May 2021. On Wednesday 12 May, candidates will be interviewed for the Crick PhD Programme by a panel of group leaders. On Thursday 13 May, candidates will participate in virtual 'lab visits' with the labs of the group leaders that have shortlisted them. Lab visits involve an interview with the research group leader and also the opportunity to meet with members of their group.
After the interviews, group leaders will decide who they would like to make an offer to. All interviewees will be notified of the final outcome of their application by 5 June 2021.
