The Crick together with its clinical PhD programme partners, provides excellent clinical research fellowship and training opportunities for exceptional clinicians from all specialities at different stages in their clinical training and research career development.
Opportunities for clinical fellowships at the Crick:
- Crick doctoral fellowships for clinicians provide a fully funded opportunity for clinicians to perform innovative biomedical discovery research for three years while following the Crick's clinical PhD programme.
- Crick postdoctoral career development fellowships for clinicians provide an opportunity for exceptional postdoctoral clinicians to consolidate their research experience.
Doctoral Fellowship Programme
These fellowships provide an opportunity for talented clinicians who are passionate about research and have a strong academic track record, to perform biomedical discovery research while following the three-year clinical PhD programme which provides extensive scientific and generic skills training and clinical mentoring.
Fellows will be based at the Crick, with a Crick primary supervisor and a secondary supervisor from one of the five clinical PhD programme partners: Barts Cancer Institute/Queen Mary University of London, Imperial College London, The Institute of Cancer Research, King’s College London and UCL. Doctoral fellows follow, or have access to, a three-year version of the Crick's PhD programme. A variety of PhD projects are available, with funding from the Crick.
Applications will open later in 2022.

Postdoctoral Career Development Fellowships for Clinicians
This scheme provides funding for one year full-time or two years part-time postdoctoral research experience in a Crick research group. Fellows with their own salary funded via NIHR, their universities or other external funding schemes may also apply to be hosted within a Crick research group. The scheme aims to:
- Foster long-term clinical links and collaborations.
- Provide clinicians with a postdoctoral extension of their research experience, and with scientific networking, training and career development opportunities.
- Provide a platform from which fellows may apply for external funding, e.g. clinician scientist fellowships, to be held at the Crick or elsewhere.
Fellows at the Crick are embedded in a vibrant multidisciplinary research community of more than 1000 scientists carrying out research to improve our understanding of health and disease. They benefit from an extensive seminar programme including Crick lectures, Interest Group seminars and Symposia, from clinical academic networking opportunities, and from comprehensive training and career development activities including technical training via the Crick's Science Technology Platforms, science communication and grant writing.
This opportunity would suit talented and motivated postdoctoral clinical fellows who are passionate about research and show outstanding potential for continuing a career in academic medicine. Applicants should have completed a medical degree, or equivalent clinical professional qualification, and hold, or be about to hold, a research PhD. Applications are welcome from all medical and surgical specialties.
Applications for fully funded fellowships are now being accepted; the deadline is 28 April 2023. Applications from fellows with funding for their own salary support are welcome at any time.
