Wellcome Trust International Training Fellowships

Wellcome Trust International Training Fellowships

Category of Opportunity: 
Fellowships/Internship

This scheme offers nationals of low- and middle-income countries the opportunity to receive training at postgraduate or postdoctoral level. An International Training Fellowship is for three years, unless you want to hold it on a part-time basis.

You can apply for an International Training Fellowship if:

you're a national of a low- or middle-income country
your proposed research focuses on a health priority in a low- or middle-income country
you have sponsorship from an eligible host organisation in a low- or middle-income country.
You must want to undertake a guided period of research so that you can consolidate your existing experience and explore new areas of research.

You must:

have a PhD and be an early-career researcher
or

have a degree in a relevant subject and some initial research experience
or

be a clinically qualified doctor (and be qualified to enter higher specialist training), vet, dentist or clinical psychologist, and have some initial research experience.
If you don't have a PhD, we expect you to start one at the same time as the fellowship. You should register for your PhD at a local academic organisation. If this isn't possible, contact us before submitting your application.

If you are in the last year of a PhD, you must have been awarded the PhD before you start the fellowship. We don't provide PhD top-up funding.
