At Marie Curie, we’re keen to support the next generation of palliative and end of life care researchers. Our Senior Research Fellows collaborate with leading universities and organisations to develop research that help ensure a better end of life for all, whatever the illness.
About the fellowship programme
The programme allows research fellows to work closely with their local Marie Curie services and policy teams to maximise the impact of their research activities and put people at the heart of their work.
What do our Senior Research Fellows do?
Marie Curie Senior Research Fellows are responsible for:
- leading on the full cycle of enabling, starting and facilitating the development of research projects by writing research proposals, applying for funding and providing advice on research design
- offering support and supervision for students wishing to undertake primary research or systematic reviews on palliative and end of life care
- publishing research and presenting findings at local, national and international conferences
- mentoring and guiding Marie Curie staff who need support with their research by giving advice on research methodology and protocol design, and applicable legislation and regulations
- managing and facilitating research studies that use hospices and other Marie Curie services as recruitment sites.
