Applications are now open for fellowships through the Addiction Healthcare Goals flagship research leadership programme.

This programme – funded by the UK Government’s Office for Life Sciences and delivered by the Society for the Study of Addiction (SSA) – aims to drive innovative responses to addiction to illicit drugs and alcohol.

There are two routes to doing a fellowship through the flagship research leadership programme: the traditional academic route, involving research within a university; and the clinical route, involving research combined with ongoing professional practice. Clinical fellowships would be suited to people who work in registered professions, such as nurses, midwives, pharmacists, doctors, and dentists.

Academic fellowships include:

  • a salary (typically in the range of £35,000 to £50,000), as well as National Insurance contributions, pension, and other employment-related costs
  • up to £30,000 for research and training costs across the course of the fellowship

Clinical fellowships include:

  • full salary costs
  • ongoing clinical work for up to 20% of your fellowship
  • up to £30,000 for research and training costs across the course of the fellowship
