Event Details
The Wellcome-HRB Irish Clinical Academic Training (ICAT) Programme is seeking to appoint its next cohort of well- qualified and ambitious individuals who aspire to become the next generation of clinical academic leaders.
ICAT is an all-Ireland clinician PhD programme funded by Wellcome and the Health Research Board, HSE-NDTP, HSC R&D Division, and six academic institutions (Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, NUI Galway, Queen’s University Belfast, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and University College Cork). The programme is coordinated by Clinical Research Development Ireland.
Integrated with postgraduate medical training, ICAT will support four years of academic training positioned at the beginning of higher specialist training (HST) or equivalent, with clinical and academic mentoring until completion of PhD and CSCST/CCT. The first year is predominantly clinical and incorporates selection of PhD supervisors and development of PhD project proposals. This is followed by a three-year fellowship leading to a PhD in one of the partner academic institutions.
ICAT is opening for fellowship applications on the 13th August 2019; the deadline for receipt of applications is the 24th September 2019. The fellowship interviews will take place in Dublin on 4th and 5th December 2019. Successful candidates will take up their fellowships in July 2020.
ICAT encourage applications from trainees entering, or in the early stages of higher specialist training (the eligibility criteria can be found on our website), in all clinical specialties.
For more information and to apply, see here. Applications must be submitted by 17.00 GMT, 24 September 2019.
