Physician Scientist Fellowships
EASL introduced further research opportunities through its Physician Scientist Fellowship Programme that was initiated in 2011.
As a continuation of the Dame Sheila Sherlock EASL Fellowship Programmes, this initiative aims at enabling physician-scientists to take a leave from their clinical duties and to spend 6 or 12 months in a research laboratory.
Physician Scientist Fellowship Programme is open to all registered EASL members and applicants can apply for either:
- 6-month research fellowship of 20,000€
- 12-month research fellowship of 40,000€
One 6-month and one 12-month fellowship will be awarded each year. The application form and conditions can be downloaded below.
