NIMR is the largest MRC institute, supporting some 70 research groups and 500
bench scientists. The Institute provides excellent training for researchers in
a multi-disciplinary environment and is equipped with state of the art
facilities, including imaging, sequencing, crystallography, NMR, electron
microscopy, mass spectroscopy and transgenics.
We are offering a 3 year Career Development Fellowship. These fellowships are
training and development positions for post-doctoral scientists who have
either recently completed their doctoral studies, are moving into a new
research discipline, have limited previous experience of key transferable
skills, or are clinically qualified with little or no research experience.
The MRC is an Equal Opportunities Employer
