Early career clinical postdoctoral fellowship schemes open
31 May 2012
We are now inviting applications for the following two schemes:
Early Postdoctoral Training Fellowship for Clinician Scientists
This scheme is targeted at people who have recently obtained a higher degree (typically a PhD). It will provide successful candidates with the opportunity to explore new environments and gain postdoctoral research experience that will lay the foundations for a successful independent career. The fellowship can be tailored to enable individuals, where appropriate, to continue to progress their clinical training.
Fellowships are for up to three years, and the total cost will normally be capped at £350 000.
Postdoctoral Training Fellowship for MB/PhD Graduates
This scheme provides a unique opportunity for the most promising newly qualified MB/PhD graduates or those who have achieved a high-quality PhD during, or before starting, their medical degree. It will help successful candidates regain their research momentum and make an early start in developing their independent research careers.
Awards are for up to four years and can be tailored to allow candidates to continue their postgraduate clinical training.
Both schemes are open to individuals with a relevant connection to the European Economic Area for fellowships to be held in a UK or Republic of Ireland institution. For more details, see the scheme pages for clinician scientists or MB/PhD graduates.
Preliminary applications must be received by 6 July 2012.
