Call for Early Career Fellowship Award

The Healthcare Engineering and Imaging Theme has launched a call for its Early Career Fellowship Award.

The call aims to support postdoctoral researchers in achieving independent positions, pursuing follow-on fellowship and grant applications, and advancing their projects along the translational pipeline.

The theme invites project proposals that align with the priority areas for the HE&I Theme and encourage working with other BRC themes.

Each award can cover up to six months of the applicant’s time at up to 0.5 FTE/WTE and may include modest consumable costs. The maximum budget is £25k.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis aligned with HE&I board meetings. The next deadlines are as follows:

  • Tuesday 19 March
  • 12pm (noon) Monday 15  April
  • 12pm (noon) Monday 13 May
  • 12pm (noon) Monday 19 June
  • 12pm (noon) Monday 8 July

View and download the application guidelines and application form for more information.

For any questions, contact the Theme Operations Manager, Dr Chloe Stockford: c.stockford -at- ucl.ac.uk.
