Research Career Development

Our clinical trainees come from NHS medical (particularly psychiatry and neurology) and allied healthcare professions. Non-clinical trainees join us with backgrounds in neuroscience, psychology, biological science, social science, physical science, mathematics and statistics.

Our funding opportunities include:

• Non-clinical PhD Studentships
• Preparatory Clinical Research Training Fellowships
• Pre-preparatory Clinical Research Training Fellowships for nurses and AHPs 

Students, trainees and secondees have access to the outstanding educational and training support within the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London and become members of the NIHR Academy.
