Chain Florey Post CCT Transition to Independence Fellowships

3 days ago


London, United Kingdom Imperial College London Full time

Location: Hammersmith, London

Job Summary

The Chain Florey Transition-to-Independence (TTI) Fellowship scheme provides a unique opportunity to clinician scientists who have recently completed their clinical training (or will do so in the next 12 months) to develop an intermediate fellowship/clinician scientist research programme with a focus on mechanistic discovery science and/or early experimental medicine. Drawing on the research strengths of the LMS, the TTI Fellowship addresses an important gap in clinical academic career progression, the challenge clinician scientists face post-CCT when they are no longer eligible for clinical lecturer posts but are not yet competitive for 5-year clinician scientist fellowships awarded by governmental or charitable funders. 

The role provides post holders with protected research time (80% research; 20% clinical time for maintenance of competency) to develop a highly competitive application to national governmental and/or charitable funders underpinned by preliminary data. A full mentorship programme will be provided to support the Fellow. This opportunity is aimed at individuals who fulfil the essential requirements listed in the person specification and show outstanding potential to become a leader in clinical translational medicine.

Duties and responsibilities

  • To develop, plan and carry out research to develop their own line of research and obtain preliminary data for externally funded clinician scientist applications.
  • To submit Intermediate Fellowship application(s) to governmental and charitable funders.
  • To identify and develop suitable techniques and approaches for the collection and analysis of data

Essential requirements 

Applicants must have been awarded a PhD and hold a CCT or will obtain CCT within the next 12 months (or equivalent) at the time of application. Awards are up to 3 years duration undertaking full time research, with the option of maintaining clinical work 1 day per week (with the expectation that there will be an Honorary Consultant contract from the Imperial College Healthcare or other NHS Trust).

Further Information

APPLICATION STAGE 1

A 1-page project outline should be submitted with the application accompanied by full CV and publication list. Proposed projects should demonstrate clear potential for collaboration with at least one LMS research group.

APPLICATION STAGE 2 

Short-listed candidates will be introduced to potential LMS scientific mentors and asked to develop a research proposal of up to 3 pages before interview, which would usually be held within 2 months of short-listing.

Further information on the research groups at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences can be found at www.lms.mrc.ac.uk.

Informal enquiries should be addressed to Declan O’Regan (declan.oregan@lms.mrc.ac.uk) or Wiebke Arlt (w.arlt@lms.mrc.ac.uk ).
