How we hire
Advertised vacancies
When a lab is actively looking for a new postdoc to join their group, they will advertise a Crick postdoctoral fellowship through our recruitment system, Workday.
The roles are listed at the bottom of this page. When applying, you will be asked for an academic CV, a cover letter detailing your research plans and motiviation for working at the Crick and in that lab, and academic referee details.
Prospective applications
Even if a lab doesn't have an open postdoc vacancy listed, they might still be open to approaches from potential postdocs.
If you are interested in a lab that doesn't have a vacancy listed, visit the lab's page on our website and go to their 'Vacancies' page to see how the group leader would like to be contacted.
If an opportunity becomes available, the application process will be the same as for advertised vacancies.
