Early Career Fellowships

MS Society

Early Career Fellowships are one of our Career Development Awards. They aim to attract and retain talented postdoctoral researchers who want to build a successful career in MS research. These awards provide a staged career structure and the opportunity for you to progress towards higher level appointments. All Early Career Fellowship applications should be hypothesis-driven. Or should clearly outline the research question(s) you’re trying to answer.

These Fellowships are for up to four years in duration. We support flexible and part-time working for Early Career Fellows. You can complete your Fellowship part-time at a minimum of 50% full-time equivalent.

We provide support for:

• your salary for up to four years

• up to £80,000 in running costs

• up to £4,000 towards conference attendance or travel

The running costs and conference/travel can be spread across your Fellowships duration. But mustn’t exceed the maximum amounts stated above. These costs are pro rata. We encourage you to spread these costs evenly where possible, to help us manage our annual budgeting.

Early Career Fellowships are typically around £300,000 - £375,000. If your total budget is more than £375,000 you must contact us at least a month before the submission deadline to discuss this. We’ll automatically reject any applications that exceed this amount without prior discussion.

Eligibility Requirements

If you’re applying as Lead Applicant, you must be the prospective Early Career Fellow. And you must’ve completed a PhD in a relevant science or health discipline. If you’ve completed a doctoral-level qualification other than a PhD, please contact us to discuss your eligibility. You can apply before your PhD (or equivalent) is awarded, but the award must be made before the Fellowship starts.

We’ve found that Fellowships are usually awarded to researchers after their first or second postdoc. But Early Career Fellowship applications are assessed on more than just the experience of the applicant (‘Person’). The quality and relevance of the Project, and the quality of the training plan and environment (‘Place’) are also important factors. So we encourage you to apply even if you’re earlier on in your career. Fellowships are available to everyone conducting research across the spectrum of MS research.

You must be based at a UK university or NHS institution and be the Principal Investigator of the project. You need to name a supervisor on your application. They must be actively involved in the project and are responsible for supporting you throughout. Supervisors are required to sign-off the application before you submit.

As Lead Applicant, you can invite Supervisors, Co-Applicants and Advisers to join the application as Participants. For all applications you must invite a Finance Officer who approves the application from the host institution and acts as the Final Signatory for application submission. Your application must have an applicant with a tenured position at the host institution for the duration of the Award. This doesn’t have to be the lead applicant.

We support flexible and part-time working for Early Career Fellows. Fellowships must be completed at a minimum of 50% full-time equivalent. You’ll be asked to explain why you'll be doing your Fellowship part-time in your application.
