(computational biology, neuroinformatics and health informatics) The MRC has identified the application of informatics as an area of strategic importance to health and medical research. This special training fellowship is aimed at developing outstanding individuals who are seeking to move into the application of mathematical, statistical and computational methods to biomedical research problems.

The MRC is keen to support individuals with a clear ambition for their research and a strong and practical sense of how they develop their careers as leading biomedical scientists and informaticians. The special fellowship is awarded at the post-doctoral entry level only and all proposals must include a well-specified formal training element in addition to a research project. The award provides up to four years of support and the opportunity to enhance the research training through placement in an overseas research centre, a second UK research centre or in UK industry.

We expect to make up to five awards a year.
