Oxford BHF CRE Transition Research Fellowship Programme
Next application deadline: Tuesday 10th May 2022 (12 noon)
The Oxford BHF Centre of Research Excellence (Oxford BHF CRE) awards Intermediate and Senior Transition Fellowships to researchers with either a basic science or clinical background, and an outstanding research track record.
The aim of the Transition Fellowship programme is to support and develop outstanding postdoctoral researchers to enable them to successfully apply for external funding opportunities, and to foster and develop future leaders in cardiovascular research.
The expectation is that by the end of their Transition Fellowship award holders will secure a competitive peer-reviewed fellowship, from the BHF or other external funding agency, at either Intermediate or Senior level.
We look for individuals who have emerging independence in a field that will add value to the Oxford cardiovascular research programme, and who will become highly competitive young group leaders with funding from external sponsors.
Funding for Transition Fellowships will be awarded for two years, and will cover the award holder’s salary along with appropriate consumables and travel costs. Support for a research assistant may be requested where relevant and fully justified.
Each research group across the Oxford BHF CRE focuses on different aspects of cardiovascular science. Together they cover the translational research spectrum from basic research through to clinical and population health research.
Applications for Transition Fellowships are invited in any of our four Research Themes, from either basic scientists or clinicians.
