The Francis Crick Institute invites applications for its Doctoral Fellowships for Clinicians, offering a unique opportunity for talented clinicians to carry out exciting research projects as part of the Crick's PhD programme.
About the Fellowships
This fully funded three-year PhD programme offers talented clinicians the opportunity to pursue biomedical discovery research in a world-class research environment. Research at the Crick spans multiple disciplines and aims to improve our understanding, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disease.
The Programme
Fellows are based at the Crick and supported by a Crick primary supervisor, a secondary supervisor from one of our partner universities, and a dedicated thesis committee. They benefit from well-resourced research labs, state-of-the-art science technology platforms, and a supportive and stimulating research environment.
