The Francis Crick Institute - Postdoctoral Career Development Fellowships for Clinicians
6.10.25
About the Fellowships: Crick postdoctoral career development fellowships for clinicians provide funding for 1 year full-time or 2 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 may also apply to be hosted within a Crick research group.
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.
Eligibility: 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 should hold (or be about to hold) a research PhD alongside their medical degree or equivalent clinical professional qualification.
Key dates:
- The application submission window for Crick fully funded fellowships (Route 1) is open from early March 2026 to end of April 2026.
- Applications from fellows with their own salary support (Route 2) are accepted year-round.
