What is the R&D Postdoctoral Challenge?
Our ambition is to discover transformative breakthroughs that hold a key to transforming the treatment of some of the world’s most complex diseases. To help achieve this, we’ve launched the R&D Postdoctoral Challenge, inviting final year MD and/or PhD students and Postdoctoral Researchers to propose their own innovative ideas to accelerate drug discovery and development. Shortlisted applicants will have the opportunity to pitch their research proposals to a world-leading judging panel with the potential to be awarded a fully funded postdoctoral position at AstraZeneca.
We are seeking proposals from outstanding final year MD and/or PhD students or Postdoctoral Researchers within five years of receiving their advance postgraduate degree (MD and/or PhD) by 31 December 2022. Candidates may be based anywhere in the world and have an innovative idea that could push the boundaries of science. Proposals will be critiqued based on scientific merit, and opportunity to create real impact for patients, society and healthcare systems.
Deadline for submissions : May 26, 2022
