The NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) is inviting applications for our Introductory Clinical Research Training Scheme starting in Spring 2026.

Introductory fellowships will be funded for 24 months at 0.4 FTE and will be open to King's Health Partners employed and clinically active nurses, midwives and allied health professionals (AHPs) who wish to develop a clinical academic career in mental health or neuroscience research but have had limited research experience to date. All doctors and clinical psychologists are not eligible to apply.

The aims of the scheme are:
- To provide clinicians an opportunity to work alongside research teams, to gain a better understanding of the research process, and gain a range of research skills.
- To provide protected time for clinical health professionals to develop an application for a NIHR Pre-doctoral Award or a similar research career development award.
- To develop a cohort of research aware clinicians who will act as research champions in their clinical areas.
- To raise the profile and improve understanding of research among nurses, midwives and AHPs more widely.

The appointed candidates will each work with a supervisor and research team based at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London.

We continuously strive to be an inclusive, culturally aware and culturally competent organisation that respects the differences of our community by providing an environment that both acknowledges and celebrates diversity and embraces inclusion.

WEBINAR: Potential applicants and their clinical line managers are invited to join us for a webinar on Monday 8 December 2025 at 12:00 mid-day (GMT) to find out more about the programme and how to apply.
