Brain Research UK Fellowship scheme is open for applications
We are pleased to invite applications for Post-doctoral fellowships and Clinical PhD fellowships from candidates working in our three priority research areas: headache and facial pain, neuro-oncology, and acquired brain and spinal cord injury.
Eligibility
Prospective post-doctoral candidates must hold a PhD in a relevant discipline, awarded or successfully defended by the application deadline. There is no upper or lower limit on the number of years’ post-doctoral experience but those who already have their own lab, or who hold, or have held, an equivalent competitive fellowship are not eligible to apply.
Clinical PhD candidates must hold a medical degree, with some post-graduate experience moving towards specialty training, or already have a training number and confirmation that they will be allowed out of programme.
Research remit
Fellowship applications must be based on a research proposal that addresses one of the three research themes above and must be for either pre-clinical or clinical research driven by a mechanistic hypothesis and demonstrating a clear pathway to translation; or the development of a biological model of disease that enhances one of the three research themes and facilitates translation.
Further informationThe deadline for applications is Wednesday 14th January 2026.
Please get in touch with any queries,
Katie Martin – Research Manager
