About Us

The NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre’s (BRC) aim is to pioneer multidisciplinary translational research and experimental medicine in the areas of mental health, the mind-body interface, and neuroscience. Our Partners: South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust is the UK’s largest NHS mental health service provider with a long history of involvement in translational research and training in partnership with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London.

The IoPPN offers excellent opportunities for research training in basic and clinical science across the mental health spectrum including its interface with physical health, precision psychiatry, novel therapeutics and translational informatics.

About The Role

The NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) invites applications from (i) clinical trainees (CT2 – ST6) and (ii) nurses, allied health professionals and clinical psychologists (bands 6 – 8A top) who are committed to developing a translational research career in the UK in the areas of mental health, clinical neuroscience or the interface between physical & mental health. Up to seven posts are available.

We encourage applications from candidates who wish to work on a project based in the NIHR-Wellcome King’s Clinical Research Facility (CRF). The exact location of each post will depend on the particular project and supervisory team that the successful candidate has applied to work with.
