The Francis Crick Institute - PhD for Clinicians
About the Fellowships: This three-year fully funded PhD programme offers talented clinicians the opportunity to pursue biomedical discovery research in a world-class research environment. Research at the Crick spans multiple disciplines and aims to improve our understanding, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disease.
The Programme: 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, 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
Funding: Fellowships are fully funded for three years, covering salary, tuition fees and costs for research, training and travel. Successful candidates will receive a salary commensurate with their current experience/stage of training (up to but not including NHS consultant level).
Eligibility: Applications are welcomed from talented and motivated clinicians who are passionate about research, have a strong academic track record and hold GMC registration or equivalent.
