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:
· Headache and facial pain: research that aims to improve the management and treatment of headache or facial pain disorders, including research that addresses the fundamental causes, mechanisms, diagnosis or treatment of headache and facial pain.
· Neuro-oncology: research that aims to improve clinical outcomes for patients with primary tumours of the brain or spinal cord, including research that addresses the fundamental causes, mechanisms, diagnosis or treatment of primary tumours of the brain or spinal cord, and associated neurological complications.
· Acquired brain and spinal cord injury: research that aims to protect or restore function in patients following brain or spinal cord injury, including research that addresses the mechanisms of the injury, the mechanisms of the recovery process, and determinants of outcome.
Research proposals 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.
