Job description
We are pleased to announce two PhD training fellowships available through the BuildPall capacity building programme at the Cicely Saunders Institute, King’s College London. We welcome applications from candidates with a healthcare background, including doctors, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and pharmacists. These fellowships, spanning three years, aim to support individuals in conducting substantial research in palliative care and translating their findings into education programmes, impactful publications, and practical solutions.
These fellowships offer a unique opportunity for promising individuals to work alongside world-renowned researchers and clinicians, establishing themselves as leaders in the field of palliative and end-of-life care. You will develop a diverse set of research skills, gain experience in nationally and internationally significant research, and receive mentorship to lead the design, implementation, and dissemination of their research. You will also have access to leadership training to prepare them for future roles in clinical academia and academic palliative care.
The first fellowship funded by The Dinwoodie Charity and supported by Cicely Saunders International focuses on improving care and symptom management and empowerment for people who are not accessing specialist palliative care services and empowering their families and those important to them.
The second fellowship funded by Cicely Saunders International offers a unique opportunity for a clinician or medical professional to engage in an innovative research project. This project integrates cutting-edge measurement theory with industry-leading practices to develop tailored measurement tools that address the specific needs of underserved populations.
Both fellows will foster interdisciplinary collaborations, improve treatment strategies and drive advancements in clinical management. You will contribute to workshops, develop clinical guidance, expand research methodologies and disseminate educational materials.
This post will be offered on a fixed term contract for 3 years.
This is a full-time post.
