MRC Career Development Award in Biostatistics

mentAwardinBiostatistics/index.htm
The MRC career development award in biostatistics is a postdoctoral
fellowship aiming to support individuals working in, or who wish to move
into, health related research. It provides up to four years of support for
the development and investigation of innovative statistical methods and
their application in clinical research.
The award also provides the opportunity to enhance the research training
through placement in an overseas research centre, a second UK research
centre or in UK industry.
We expect to make up to three awards a year
Who can apply?
The scheme is available to individuals with PhDs in statistics,
biostatistics or a related discipline and less than five years post-doctoral
experience or to those who expect to have received such a doctorate by the
time they intend to take up the award.
Residency
Post-doctoral applicants have no residential restrictions and may come from
any country.
What funding is provided?
The fellowship provides the fellow's personal salary, research training
support costs, annual travel/overseas costs, and all other relevant costs
under Full Economic Costs (FEC). The career development award in
biostatistics is primarily intended to support the training and development
of the fellow. Where research staff is required then these should be
requested and clearly justified; however, this level of support would be
considered exceptional.
Tenure of award
The MRC Career development award in biostatistics may be awarded for any
period up to four years.

This fellowship competition is held once a year. There is no need to submit
