PhD StudentshipsChain-Florey Clinical Research Fellowships
Chain Florey Fellowship Eligibility Requirements

- Would normally have passed Membership exams
Chain-Florey Clinical Research Fellowships are for medical graduates pursuing a career as an academic clinician. Emphasis is placed on the development of well-rounded researchers equally strong in both clinical research and basic science; Fellows are expected to carry out their research in one of the CSC’s world-leading basic science groups. Chain-Florey projects must involve human tissues or samples or be otherwise related to human disease of relevance to the Academic Health Science Centre strategy. Fellows have three years to complete their PhD – on completion, they return to their postgraduate clinical training.
We are looking for candidates with a genuine interest in doing scientific research, and an open and enquiring mind. Clearly some laboratory experience is helpful, but we realize that our clinical fellows will not have spent extensive time in a lab. The most important thing is to be aware that you would be starting at ground level. We also cannot guarantee that you will be able to have a project that is directly linked to your clinical speciality, so you need to be willing to keep an open mind. What we can provide is a sound scientific training on an interesting project in an internationally competitive research institute full of young researchers. The aim is to provide our Chain-Florey fellows with scientific skills to equip them for a high flying career in academic research medicine.
The posts, jointly funded by the MRC, Imperial College London and the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at Imperial College NHS Trust, are currently being offered to successful applicants who are EEA nationals. The CSC plans to offer three posts each year.
