MRC fellowships are personal awards for talented researchers to support key transition points in their careers. Many of today’s leading biomedical and health researchers look back on their MRC fellowship as a significant stepping stone in developing their career.
MRC offers a range of fellowships to meet diverse needs, allowing training placements in the UK, abroad or in industry.
MRC fellowships support:
Individuals transitioning to the next level in their careers, normally through a change from an existing/current role
Protected time to focus on your own research, shielded from other professional commitments; clinicians can undertake clinical duties as part of their award
Funding for a challenging research project and an ambitious programme of research training that offers accelerated personal and career development
Progression towards fulfilling long term career goals, which includes an aspiration to strengthening the UK research base
A clear commitment from the host research organisation to supporting, developing and mentoring the fellow.
