Five CREATE doctoral fellowships support practising health professionals developing clinical academic careers in global health. The Wellcome-funded programme links five UK universities with six partner institutions in Ghana, Pakistan, South Africa, The Gambia, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Research may span biological mechanisms, methods and technologies, or population health and its social, ethical, cultural and economic contexts, addressing health problems relevant to the overseas host region. Fellows register at a UK partner university and spend at least eighteen months at an Africa or Asia partner

The MRC fellowship combines clinical research training with a programme addressing human health, from mechanisms of disease to translational research. It supports researchers developing a clinical academic career with supervision in an eligible host department. Research can cover infection, immunity, molecular medicine, population health, neuroscience, mental health and related MRC areas. Fellows should normally start between October 2027 and January 2028. The application deadline is 13 January 2027 at 16:00 UK time.
