The Wellcome Trust is providing training fellowships
for individuals with a relevant connection to the European Economic
Area (EEA) in a UK or Republic of Ireland institution. Fellowships are
provided in the field of medical, dental, veterinary or clinical
psychology. 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. Application should be submitted till September 20, 2013.
About Scholarship: 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.
The research project should normally be undertaken in the UK or Republic of Ireland and candidates may request to spend up to three months overseas during the fellowship. For candidates who are carrying out research in public health and tropical medicine in a low- and middle-income country location, the duration of the fellowship may be spent overseas. Candidates, who wish to pursue research in epidemiology or bioinformatics, and need to undertake a diploma in tropical medicine and hygiene or a Masters degree as an essential entry point, may be considered for an extra year’s funding and course fees. Fellowships may be taken up on a part-time employment basis, where appropriate. Applicants are advised to consult their training authority on conversion to a flexible NTN and discuss with us.
Study: Fellowships are provided to develop a long-term career in academic medicine for medical, dental, veterinary or clinical psychology graduates.
Course Level: The fellowships are available to undertake substantial training through high-quality research in an appropriate unit or clinical research facility, towards a PhD or MD qualification.
Scholarship by: The Wellcome Trust
Location: UK or Republic of Ireland.
Eligibility: Students should have little to no research experience and it should not normally be more than ten years from the date of your first medical, dental or veterinary qualification. Due allowance will be given to those whose career has been affected by a late start or for personal reasons (e.g. time away due to maternity, paternity, adoption leave, other caring responsibilities or ill-health). You should have completed general professional training as defined by the relevant college.
-Medical graduates must have passed the relevant exam for their specialty, e.g. MRCP, MRCS, MRCOphth/FRCOphth Part 1, MRCPsych, MRCOG Part 1, MRCPCH, FRCA Part 1. GPs are advised to contact the office to clarify their eligibility.
-Dental candidates must have obtained MFD, MFDS, MGDS, MFGDP or equivalent.
-Veterinary candidates should have a degree in veterinary medicine (e.g. BVSc, BVM&S, BVMS, BVetMed, VetMB) and some experience in clinical practice. An intercalated degree is desirable, but not essential.
-Clinical psychology candidates must have obtained a professional Doctorate-level qualification in Clinical Psychology accredited by the British Psychological Society before taking up the award. Candidates are advised to contact the office to clarify their eligibility.
Applicants are expected to undertake a high-quality research project that balances the provision of training with the opportunity to advance knowledge in a given area. A project based solely on a systematic review of a particular area is not suitable, unless it includes a significant element of methodological innovation.
Scholarship Open for: The students of EEA (Austria Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, UK) can apply for the fellowships.
Duration: Fellowships are normally for two to three years.
Value: 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 necessary equipment and facilities required for the proposed research must be available to the candidate, so it is essential that a laboratory or unit appropriate to the research proposed is selected. Substantial requests for equipment are not accepted. Funding is not provided for PhD/MD tuition fees, although the Flexible Funding Allowance associated with the Fellowship may be used to contribute towards this expense. Funding may be requested for training activities relevant to the aims of the Fellowship, including, and when appropriate, for a Masters or Diploma.
Selection criteria: Reviewers typically assess:
-your career to date
-the scientific merit and feasibility of the proposed project
-the significance of the science
-the suitability of your supervisor, sponsor and host environment.
Notification: Applicants will be notified two weeks before the interview date as to whether they have been shortlisted. Shortlisted candidate interviews will be held on 18-19 February 2014 (CIC) and 12-14 March 2014 (PHATIC).
Apply: Online
Deadline: 20th September 2013
