About the role
These fellowships are supported by The Karlsson Játiva Charitable Foundation (KJCF) through the KJCF Quest Fellowships in Brain Health and Multimorbidity.
The two fellowships, known as KJCF Quest Fellows, will focus on preventing, treating or managing co-occurring multiple long-term conditions, where at least one is neurological or neuropsychiatric. They are open to pre-clinical and clinical researchers. Fellowships will be awarded to two outstanding post-doctoral scientists establishing their independence.
The fellows will be based within the IoPPN and we welcome applicants with interests across the lifespan. One of the fellowships will focus specifically on children and young people and will be based within the King’s Maudsley Partnership for Children and Young People, a partnership between King’s College London and South London and Maudsley Hospital.
The fellowships will be open to researchers utilising a broad range of methods and we will be open to applications exploring how specific mental and brain health conditions may co-occur with physical conditions in addition to research looking at the overlaps between different domains of brain health itself. The focus will be on those conditions those that most significantly affect people’s lives and where research leads to real clinical impact.
Each fellowship will include an attached PhD student, with the postholder responsible for leading the recruitment once in post.
This is a full time post (35 hours per week), and you will be offered an a fixed term contract until 01/09/2031.
