Addiction Healthcare Goals Fellowships

Society for the Study of Addiction

New funding opportunity from the Society for the Study of Addiction and UK Government’s Office for Life Sciences

Qualification Type: Academic/clinical fellowship

Funding for: UK students

The Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) is offering fellowships as part of the Addiction Healthcare Goals flagship research leadership programme. The aim is to support people and projects that drive innovative responses to addiction to illicit drugs and alcohol.

Strong applications for funding will demonstrate how the research aligns with:

• The aims of Addiction Healthcare Goals
• The aims of the UK Government’s 10-year drug strategy, ‘From Harm to Hope’
• The ten priority questions for addiction research identified by the James Lind Alliance priority-setting partnership

Strong candidates will be able to:

• Demonstrate excellence through their contributions to the field and the development of others
• Describe plans to develop their skills and experience, and advance their career goals
• Provide evidence of their commitment to a research career in the field of addiction
• Present a proposal for research that will have an impact on addiction treatment, policy, and/or research

What can I expect from this fellowship?

The SSA is a relatively small Society with staff and trustees that are dedicated to offering the best learning experience, and who take an active interest in the wellbeing and future of fellows.

The fellowship offer includes:

• a salary (typically in the range of £35,000 to £50,000), as well as National Insurance contributions, pension, and other employment-related costs
• research and training costs of up to £30,000

For clinical fellowships, the salary costs will usually be determined by the current pay grade of the applicant. The SSA will pay full salary costs in cases where the applicant continues clinical work for 20% of their fellowship time.
