Doctoral clinical fellows

Fellows carry out exciting research projects for three years while following the Crick's clinical PhD programme, which is a three-year version of our PhD programme.

Eligibility

We are looking for talented and motivated clinicians who are passionate about research, have a strong academic track record and have the potential to pursue a career as an academic clinician.  

Applicants for this competitive programme are expected to have:

• a medical, dental or veterinary degree (awarded by summer 2022 at the latest),
• previous wet or dry lab research experience (desirable), and
• continuous full General Medical Council (GMC) registration or equivalent (eg GDC registration, RVCS registration, equivalent national registration outside the UK).

Applications are welcomed from:

• candidates from all medical and surgical specialties
• candidates with a background in dentistry
• candidates with a background in veterinary medicine 

Applicants should be in a training position (not necessarily with a training number). Candidates at consultant grade will not be considered.

These are full time research positions with limited participation in clinical activities.

Clinical PhD trainees at the Crick thrive in an academic environment underpinned by world-class technical expertise in areas ranging from computational biology and genomics to cell and structural biology and imaging. This provides a firm foundation for clinicians with future academic career paths in mind.

They follow, or have access to, a three-year version of the Crick's PhD programme, which provides extensive scientific and general skills training and clinical mentoring.

As the fellows are enrolled in a full time PhD programme, there is limited participation in clinical activities.

Applications should be submitted through our online recruitment system when recruitment opens in early October 2021, and must be submitted by the application deadline.
