About this position

PACE postdoctoral fellowships at the Francis Crick Institute support ambitious researchers who want to build collaborative, interdisciplinary projects across the Crick and partner universities: UCL, King’s College London, and Imperial College London.

This is a postdoctoral opening, not a PhD or master’s call. Fellows join the Crick postdoc programme and work across institutions, spending equal time between the Crick and a chosen university partner. The fellowship is designed for researchers aiming to become future leaders, with structured leadership training, mentorship, career development support, and access to world-leading scientific facilities.

Funding includes a four-year fixed-term contract with salary starting from £47,500 per year plus benefits, depending on skills and experience. The post also covers visa costs for international researchers and their families, including the NHS surcharge.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD by the deadline, or have defended their thesis and be awaiting formal award. Candidates who completed their PhD at the Crick are not eligible. Former Crick postdoctoral researchers may apply if their total Crick postdoctoral employment, including the PACE appointment, does not exceed six years.

There are two application routes: a postdoc-led route, where the candidate contacts both a Crick and partner university group leader to develop a collaborative project, and a group leader-led route, where candidates apply to pre-defined collaborative topics. The call opens on 30 September 2026 and closes on 6 January 2027.

For more information, the post advertises an information webinar on 8 October, 11:00–12:00, and provides the Crick postdoc recruitment page and application materials.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD by the call deadline, or have successfully defended their doctoral thesis and be awaiting formal award.

How to apply

Review the PACE fellowship application guidelines and template/PDF, then apply through the Crick academic recruitment system.
