Further postdoctoral training fellowship opportunities for clinicians

28 September 2009

Researchers working together in the lab
Applications are now open for the Wellcome Trust funding scheme that helps the most promising newly qualified MB/PhD graduates make an early start in developing their independent research careers.

The Wellcome Trust Postdoctoral Training Fellowships for MB/PhD graduates are aimed at newly qualified MB/PhD graduates or those who have achieved a high-quality PhD during or before starting their medical degree.

It can difficult for clinicians, at this critical stage in their careers, to manage the competing demands of research and clinical training. The fellowships provide the opportunity for graduates to maintain their research momentum, by undertaking a period of postdoctoral training in the best laboratories in the UK and overseas.

Awards last for up to four years and provide salary and research costs. The Fellowships are designed to be flexible and can be tailored to meet individuals' specific research/clinical training needs.

For further information, including application details, see the MB/PhD scheme pages.
