PhD for Clinicians (3 Years)

Their 2023 doctoral fellowships for clinicians provide an opportunity for clinicians to carry out exciting research projects for three years while following the Crick’s clinical PhD programme. The Crick’s research is dedicated to unravelling the scientific mechanisms of living organisms, helping us to understand why disease develops and
find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses.

One of our aims is to advance the understanding of cancer at the most fundamental level and to speed application of this knowledge for therapeutic and diagnostic patient benefit. Fellows will be based at the Crick, supported by teams comprising a Crick research group leader, at least one supervisor from one of the Crick partner universities (Imperial College London, King’s College London and UCL) and at least one clinician.

They are looking for talented clinicians who are passionate about research, have a strong academic track record and hold full GMC registration
or equivalent. These are full-time research positions with limited participation in clinical activities. They are fully funded for three years,
and PhD registration will be with the appropriate programme partner institution. Successful candidates will receive a salary commensurate with their current experience/stage of training (up to but not including NHS consultant level).
