At CHORAL, we want to develop a pipeline of talented child health researchers. We have funding to support aspiring candidates who wish to develop their clinical academic careers in child health research through two schemes:
Pre-doctoral research fellowships
- This opportunity is available for medics, allied health professionals, nurses, midwifes, pharmacists, dental technicians, or healthcare scientists.
- We will support you by providing protected time which will allow you to submit a competitive doctoral fellowship application.
- Funding is available to provide salary backfill for the successful candidates. The amount available is dependent on professional group and current salary grade or AFC appointment.
- There is a career development budget of £1,000 for each successful fellow.
- You must be an employee of Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, or on rotation at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust working in child health related research.
- This fellowship will be completed at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and The University of Leeds.
- More information can be found in the pre-doctoral fellowship guidance notes.
