Guarantors of Brain Post-Doctoral and Brain Entry Fellowships 2027

Three salary-only fellowship types for neuroscience research in the United Kingdom, with project start dates on or after 1 April 2027. Entry clinical fellowships give up to 12 months of bridging salary to early-career clinicians before a research fellowship for a higher degree. Post-doctoral clinical fellowships give up to 12 months of salary to clinicians after a PhD or research MD, and welcome part-time research with a 50/50 split of research and clinical training. Non-clinical post-doctoral fellowships give up to 36 months of full-time salary, up to £70,000 a year, to basic scientists embedded in translational neuroscience teams, typically in clinical neurology and related specialities. Applications close at 17:00 on 27 October 2026; shortlisted candidates are notified in late December 2026 and interviewed in person in London on 22 January 2027.

Clinical fellowships: UK-based clinicians eligible for or engaged in higher specialist training in neurology, neurosurgery, neurophysiology or neuropsychiatry and intending a clinical academic career; post-doctoral clinical applicants must have submitted their PhD thesis by interview, and established consultants or faculty are not eligible. Non-clinical fellowships: at least 2 years of postdoctoral study and no more than 8 years post-PhD at application, a translational neuroscience project in the UK with a research-active supervisor at the same institution, and support from the head of department; clinically qualified researchers apply to the clinical scheme.
