The Medical Research Council (MRC) is part of UK Research and Innovation, an independent organisation that acts as a steward in the research and innovation system with a strong voice to government and internationally. The MRC supports high-quality research and training across the biomedical spectrum, from fundamental lab-based science to clinical trials, in all major disease areas.

The MRC’s research boards and panels are comprised of leading scientists that play a key role in delivering MRC objectives across the portfolio.  The research boards hold their own research budgets and review and manage scientific activity within their scientific domains, working co-operatively in areas of common interest.

Applications are invited from scientists with the relevant experience and expertise to become members of MRC boards and panels from April 2021. We are seeking to fill up to 26 vacancies across our four research boards and 29 vacancies across our panels.

Application deadline of 4pm, Monday 05 October 2020.
