Fully Funded Postdoctoral Career Development Fellowships for Clinicians

Funding for: Clinicians

Salary: Commensurate with current experience/stage of training

The Francis Crick Institute invites applications for its Postdoctoral Career Development Fellowships for Clinicians, offering an exciting opportunity for postdoctoral clinicians to advance their research careers within a world-leading multidisciplinary biomedical discovery research institute.

About the Fellowships: The fellowships provide funding for one year full-time or two years part-time postdoctoral research experience in a Crick research group. Fellows with their own salary funded via NIHR, universities, or other external funding schemes are also welcome to apply. The fellowships aim to:

• Foster long-term clinical links and collaborations
• Provide clinicians with a postdoctoral extension of their research experience, along with scientific networking, training and career development opportunities
• Provide a platform from which fellows may apply for external funding, such as clinician scientist fellowships, to be held at the Crick or elsewhere.

The Programme: Fellows at the Crick join a vibrant, multidisciplinary research community of over 1,000 scientists. They have full access to the Crick postdoc training programme, an extensive seminar programme, clinical academic networking opportunities, and comprehensive training and career development activities.

Funding: Successful candidates receive a salary commensurate with their current experience/ stage of training (up to but not including NHS consultant level). Research costs are also covered. Funding is available through:

• The Crick
• The Crick in partnership with the Rosetrees Trust: for translational research with the potential to benefit patients
• The Crick in partnership with Kidney Research UK: for research on earlier diagnosis, prevention or treatment of kidney disease

Who can apply: This opportunity is ideal for talented and motivated postdoctoral clinicians who are passionate about research and demonstrate outstanding potential for continuing a career in academic medicine and research. Applicants must hold (or be about to hold) a research PhD alongside their medical degree or equivalent clinical professional qualification.
