NIHR Research Methods Fellowships and Internships Round 2
Document Actions
Funding has been awarded to 18 NIHR Senior Investigators to recruit and host a NIHR Research Methods Fellow and Intern. The competition was launched in February 2011 with a closing date of 30th March 2011.
The majority of fellowship positions have now been filled, however anyone interested in applying to either the Fellow or Intern positions should contact the Senior Investigator and / or co-supervisor using the contact details given below.
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 started in September or October 2011 and at the latest by 31st May 2012. Internships will be advertised over the course of the Fellowships but most likely in either summer 2012 or summer 2013.
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 are interested in any of the fellowships or internships.
