Funding has been awarded to 12 NIHR Senior Investigators to recruit and host a NIHR Research Methods Fellow and Intern. The competition was launched in December 2011 with a closing date of 1st February 2012.
These Fellowships have been funded as part of the NIHR Research Methods Programme, which aims to boost research capacity and capability in the areas of medical statistics, health economics, clinical trial design, operational research and modelling.
NIHR Research Methods Fellowships are aimed at highly-talented individuals who are either in their early post-graduate career or returning to the work place after a career break and who are looking to change the focus of their career. The Fellowships will provide 2 years of dedicated time for the Fellow to undertake structured methodology training and gain research experience in a high-quality environment. Fellows will be expected to pursue a relevant Masters degree or training (short courses) dependent on their training needs and where appropriate prepare and submit an application for a Doctoral Research Fellowship.
The Internships are aimed at the brightest undergraduates (in mathematics, economics, or physics for example) for the summer following the second year of their degree (or third year of a four year degree).
The majority of Fellowships will start in September or October 2012 and at the latest by 31st March 2013. Internships will be advertised over the course of the Fellowships but most likely in either summer 2013 or summer 2014.
Recruitment will be conducted and managed by the individual institutions in which the NIHR Senior Investigators are based. You should use the contact details below if you want to discuss any of the fellowship or internship positions available with the NIHR Senior Investigators awarded funding.
