About this position
Wellcome Early-Career Awards support early-career researchers to build an independent research identity through innovative projects. The scheme is designed for applicants developing work that advances understanding in their field or creates methodologies, frameworks, tools, or techniques that benefit health-related research.
This is a Wellcome Trust funding opportunity rather than a single project-based PhD opening. It is aimed at postdoctoral researchers ready to take a step toward research independence, with support for the award holder’s salary and substantial research expenses.
The award is open across a broad range of subject areas, reflecting Wellcome’s interdisciplinary approach to health-related research. Successful applicants are expected to propose a project that is research-driven and methodologically strong, with clear relevance to health and the development of their own research profile.
The scheme is run by the Wellcome Trust in the United Kingdom, with opportunities for applicants from the United Kingdom, Ireland and LMICs.
