The new HYMS Research Fellowship in Immunology is now available on offer funded by the Hull York Medical School. Fellowship is available for International students.

This Fellowship is intended to provide a stepping stone for a highly motivated and able early career immunologist to move towards a fully-established, independent and externally-funded research career.

Founded on principles of excellence, equality, and opportunity for all, the University of York opened in 1963 with just 230 students. Since then we have become one of the world's leading universities, carving out a reputation as an academic powerhouse where a clear focus on excellence has secured national and international recognition alongside longer-established institutions.
