Institute of Developmental & Regenerative Medicine (IDRM) Transition Fellowship

Location: Department of Paediatrics, Institute of Developmental & Regenerative Medicine IDRM, Old Road Campus, Oxford

Salary: £48,235 - £57,255 with a discretionary range to £64,228 per annum (pro-rata)

We have an exciting Transition Fellowship opportunity at the Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine (IDRM) in the Department of Paediatrics to support and develop an outstanding researcher at an intermediate/career development stage.

We encourage candidates who already have a track record of interdisciplinary collaboration and can bridge across at least two of our themes to apply. Clinicians and Non-Clinicians are welcome to apply. We will award one Fellowship and appoint the Fellow either on Grade E63 for Clinicians or Research Grade 8 for Non-Clinicians. The selection process is based solely on how applicants match the essential criteria as outlined in the job description.

We are specifically looking for researchers seeking mentoring and sponsorship to apply for external career development fellowships (e.g. Wellcome Trust’s Career Development, MRC’s Career Development, BHF’s Intermediate Basic Science Research, UKRI Future Leaders, EPSRC Established Career).

The IDRM will make available funds for up to two years to support research costs, up-to a total of £200K (excluding the Fellow’s own salary costs), to relocate researchers into Oxford and the Institute and to enable them to capitalise on generating a competitive fellowship proposal with extensive pilot data and access to local collaborators and research platforms. Applications for external fellowship funding will need to be submitted at 18 months into the post.

The Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine is a unique flagship institution, at the University of Oxford, and represents a dynamic and collaborative research environment, with 15-20 research groups and at full capacity 240 research staff investigating how understanding normal development can inform on strategies to regenerate diseased or injured tissues. Our interests span across three research themes: cardiovascular science, neuroscience and immunology, capturing three of the major organ systems targeted by non-communicable diseases.

This position is offered on a full-time basis on a fixed term contract for two years.

Successful applicants will have a minimum of 3 years post-doctoral experience, distinctive research achievements and a cutting-edge research plan for the next 5 years. You will need to be able to work with and seek active collaboration with research partners from other disciplines. We look for individuals who have emerging independence in a field or cross-cutting themes that will add value to IDRM’s mission.

Only online applications received before 12.00 midday on 2 May 2025 will be considered. Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.
