Research Opportunities
Opportunities for research funding are provided below.
For individuals who have contributed significantly to respiratory research, eligibility information for our BTS Medals and Awards can be found here.
These are 1–2 year fellowships to provide postdoctoral research experience for clinicians, working in a Crick research group on a project agreed between the fellow and the Crick group leader.
The fellowships aim to:
- Foster long-term clinical links and collaborations.
- Provide clinicians with a postdoctoral extension of their research experience, and with scientific networking, training and career development opportunities.
- Provide a platform from which fellows may apply for external funding, e.g. clinician scientist fellowships, to be held at the Crick or elsewhere.
Fellows at the Crick will be embedded in a vibrant multidisciplinary research community of more than 1000 scientists carrying out research to improve our understanding of health and disease.
This opportunity would suit talented and motivated postdoctoral clinicians who are passionate about research and show outstanding potential for continuing a career in academic medicine and research. Applicants should have completed a medical degree, or equivalent clinical professional qualification, and hold, or be about to hold, a research PhD.
The application submission window for Crick fully funded fellowships (route 1) is open from early March 2026 to end of April 2026.
Applications from fellows with funding for their own salary support (route 2) are welcome all year round.
