Advanced Fellowships
The NIHR Advanced Fellowship is a postdoctoral Fellowship aimed at anyone with a PhD who hasn’t yet been appointed to a professorial post. The Advanced Fellowship supports individuals undertaking research in any scientific discipline or sector that can demonstrate a contribution to improving health and/or care.
We recognise the importance of funding early career researchers to undertake postdoctoral research and so we are looking to expand the number of Advanced Fellowships that we fund.
We are also encouraging more applications from people undertaking research in areas of social care, public health, dementia and multiple long-term conditions (MLTC).
Researchers from any professional background are eligible to apply for Advanced Fellowships, whether clinical or non-clinical.
The closing date for applications is 18 January 2024.
