Our postdoctoral awards support early career researchers, including newly qualified PhDs and early to mid-career postdoctoral researchers, helping them advance their research and become the next generation of national and international leaders.
In July 2022, ARC East of England received £486,000 from a national funding award to support postdoctoral researchers in applied health and care research for dementia. The programme, called DEM-COMM, successfully ran until March 2026, funding six talented postdoctoral dementia researchers in our region. Learn more about DEM-COMM here.
During ARC2 (2026–31), we will continue to provide postdoctoral awards, helping early career researchers bridge the gap and secure long-term external fellowships to advance their research careers. Future calls will be announced on our website, so sign up for the ARC East of England Newsletter to stay updated.
If you are thinking about applying for an externally funded postdoctoral award, such as the NIHR Academy Postdoctoral Award, we can help you connect with academic supervisors and mentors at our partner universities and guide you to experienced researchers in your field.
