MRC research boards and panels vacancies
The Medical Research Council's (MRC) research boards and panels are comprised of a group of leading scientists who play a key role in delivering the MRC's objectives across the portfolio. The research boards hold their own research budgets and review and manage scientific activity within their specialist areas.
Training and career development panels
The MRC is seeking applications from researchers with an excellent track record and a keen interest in supporting early-career researchers, through fellowship awards targeting key career transitions and outstanding and novel research topics.
You must have expertise to robustly assess the experimental design and methodology aspects of funding applications (including animal or human studies) and be willing to contribute to the interviewing of trainees (where applicable) across a broad range of disciplines.
Clinical Training and Career Development Panel: four vacancies
The panel assesses applications to their range of clinical fellowships, designed to support talented researchers wishing to pursue a clinical academic career.
Panel members contribute to assessments and interviews across all our remit and interest areas, addressing research questions from fundamental science to early clinical trials and preventive medicine.
They have up to four vacancies for applicants who would bring expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- imaging or ‘omics and computational approaches (two vacancies)
- neuroscience and neurology
- clinical trials methodology and qualitative based research
They encourage applications from across the spectrum of healthcare professions, from those working in primary, secondary or community care and public health. However, it is not a pre-requisite to be clinically qualified to be a member of the panel.
