Research Training Fellowships is for medical, veterinary, dental, or clinical psychology graduates who wish to develop a long-term career in academic medicine. Applications are invited from individuals who want to pursue substantial training through high-quality research in an appropriate unit or clinical research facility, towards a PhD or MD qualification.
Fellowships are normally for two to three years. In exceptional cases a fellowship may be for around four years for those who wish to undertake a relevant Masters training or diploma course. All training requests must be fully justified in the application. Fellowships offer research expenses (consumables, travel and support to attend scientific meetings, fieldwork and data collection) and a fellow’s salary, set according to age, experience and our policy on enhancement. The necessary equipment and facilities required for the proposed research must be available to the candidate, so it is essential that a laboratory or unit appropriate to the research proposed is selected.
Funding is not offered for course fees, except for approved Masters and diploma courses, or for examination fees. Candidates who are currently funded on a one-year grant and wish to pursue a PhD may apply for a two-year Research Training Fellowship. The research project should normally be carried out in the UK or Republic of Ireland and candidates may request to spend around three months overseas during the fellowship.
