Course/Event Description

The Francis Crick Institute PhD for Clinicians (3 years fully funded) NOW OPEN. Application deadline: 15 November 2024

Our fully funded fellowships provide an opportunity for talented clinicians to perform biomedical discovery research while following our three-year clinical PhD programme. Our multidisciplinary research aims to understand why disease develops and to help improve disease diagnosis, prevention and treatment. 

Fellows will be based at the Crick, supported by a Crick primary supervisor, a secondary supervisor from one of the Crick partner universities (Imperial, King’s and UCL) and a dedicated thesis committee. They will benefit from well-resourced research labs, state-of-the-art science technology platforms, and a supportive and stimulating research environment. 

We are looking for talented and motivated clinicians who are passionate about research, have a strong academic track record and hold GMC registration or equivalent.

The Francis Crick Institute Postdoctoral career development fellowships for clinicians Applications via route 2 open all year round

These are 1–2 year fellowships to provide postdoctoral research experience for clinicians, working in a Crick research group on a project agreed between the fellow and the Crick group leader. 

The fellowships aim to:

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

Fellows at the Crick will be embedded in a vibrant multidisciplinary research community of more than 1000 scientists carrying out research to improve our understanding of health and disease. 

This opportunity would suit talented and motivated postdoctoral clinicians who are passionate about research and show outstanding potential for continuing a career in academic medicine and research. Applicants should have completed a medical degree, or equivalent clinical professional qualification, and hold, or be about to hold, a research PhD. 

The application submission window for Crick fully funded fellowships (route 1) is open from early March 2025 to end of April 2025.

Applications from fellows with funding for their own salary support (route 2) are welcome all year round.
