Wellcome Trust Research Training Fellowship

This scheme is for medical, dental, veterinary or clinical psychology graduates who have little or no research training, but who wish to develop a long-term career in academic medicine. Applications are encouraged from individuals who wish to undertake substantial training through high-quality research in an appropriate unit or clinical research facility, towards a PhD or MD qualification.

Fellowships are normally for two to three years. In exceptional cases a fellowship may be for up to four years for those who wish to undertake a relevant Masters training or diploma course. All training requests must be fully justified in the application. Fellowships provide research expenses (consumables, travel, support to attend scientific meetings, fieldwork and data collection) and a fellow's salary, set according to age, experience and our policy on enhancement.

The next deadline for applications is 17 September 2012. Click on the link below for more information.
