The KKLF Intermediate Research Fellowships 2011, UK: Biomedical

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

The principle objective of The Kay Kendall Leukaemia Fund Intermediate Research Fellowship programme is to facilitate the careers of truly outstanding biomedical scientists by allowing them to gain experience in an international centre of excellence prior to establishing an independent research group of their own. Non-medical applicants will already have completed their PhD and will usually have 3-6 years of post-doctoral research experience. For medical graduates the Intermediate Fellowship is suitable for individuals who have obtained a PhD; in exceptional cases completion of clinical training during an Intermediate Fellowship may also be possible. Applicants for the Intermediate Fellowship will be expected to demonstrate their potential for achieving international status as researchers in leukaemia or a closely related field.
The Intermediate Fellowship will be for up to 4 years. The Fellowship will support the salary of the Fellow; applicants may also include a salary for technical support in their application and this will be considered on an individual basis. A significant proportion of their Fellowship (up to 3 years) may be spent in an appropriate institution outside the UK where this can be clearly demonstrated to be of significant benefit. In such cases applications can include a family allowance cost element in their application if appropriate.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 28 April 2011
