Royal Society Career Development Fellowship – Dementia Research
The Royal Society, in partnership with Alzheimer’s Society
Job Description:
Alzheimer’s Society is partnering with the Royal Society to support a dementia researcher through the Royal Society’s Career Development Fellowship scheme. The four-year postdoctoral fellowship provides funding to conduct high-quality research, alongside a comprehensive programme of mentoring, training and networking to help award holders establish successful independent research careers in the UK. Research projects supported through our partnership must be directly relevant to dementia; clinical and interventional studies on humans are excluded.

The scheme is currently open to researchers who self-identify as being from Black heritage, including Black African, Black Caribbean, Black Other and mixed backgrounds that include Black African, Black Caribbean or Black Other heritage. Applicants should have a PhD, or will have one by the time funding starts, and have less than 24 months of full-time postdoctoral research experience, subject to the Royal Society’s eligibility rules. Applicants looking to move into dementia research are welcome, provided the proposed project meets the relevant remit and eligibility requirements.
