A Chancellor’s Fellowship with the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine is an opportunity to realise your research goals in a thriving multi-disciplinary community. We already have incredible research facilities and an ongoing plan to create unrivalled future resources for both research and outstanding medical, veterinary and biomedical sciences teaching.
Whether you are already working at the University of Edinburgh or at another research institution, we’d like to receive your application.
About the fellowship
Over the course of the five-year programme, we will support you to develop your ideas and find your future place in our thriving research community. We have a strong track record in supporting our Chancellor’s Fellows to win significant funding and establish their own research groups.
We live and work in one of the most incredible cities in the world with the wild spaces and places of Scotland within easy reach. Visit our research institute websites below to explore our facilities or take a virtual tour for a look inside our doors.
You can also follow our social media for a sense of our community - most of our institutes have channels across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Our excellent 2021 Research Exercise Framework results are a reflection of the strength and diversity of our whole College community.
Finally, don’t just take our word for it: have a look at what our earlier Chancellor’s Fellows have to say below.
We look forward to receiving your application to join us.
