International Senior Research Fellowships provide support for outstanding researchers, either medically or scientifically qualified, who wish to establish an independent career in a Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Polish, Slovakian, Slovenian or Indian academic institution.

Candidates are expected to have a substantial track record in their chosen area of research and have between five and ten years' experience at either postdoctoral level or clinical equivalent.

Applications are particularly encouraged from researchers working outside their own countries who wish to return home.

The Fellowship provides five years of full salary support and research costs.

The scheme provides support for research across the Wellcome Trust's scientific remit, from laboratory-based basic research to clinical, population and public health studies.

This is an annual competition.
