The Francis Crick Institute – AI/ML Fellowships for Clinicians
About the Fellowships: This fully funded programme combines one year of MSc-level training in AI and machine learning, followed by either a three-year discovery-led PhD programme, or two years of postdoctoral research.
The Programme: Fellows are based at the Crick and supported by a Crick primary supervisor, a secondary supervisor from one of our partner universities, and a clinical academic mentor. They benefit from well-resourced research labs, state-of-the-art science technology platforms, an extensive seminar programme, and comprehensive training and career development activities.
Funding: The fellowships are fully funded, encompassing both MSc-level study and research training, and cover salary, UK home fees and research costs. Successful candidates will receive a salary aligned to their current stage of training, up to but not including NHS consultant level.
Eligibility: We welcome applications from talented and motivated clinicians who are passionate about applying AI and data driven approaches to biomedical research, have a strong academic track record, hold GMC registration or equivalent, and qualify for UK home fee status.
