Have you recently finished your PhD, or are about to finish? Are you
interested in carrying out research in the field of ‘medical
methodology’?

‘Medical methodology’ is an interdisciplinary area that investigates
how clinical evidence is critically appraised and applied to various
different medical cases. EBM+ has formed a wider network of organisations
and individuals focused on this field who are attempting to articulate
precisely how current research and clinical methods/guidelines are
suboptimal, and how these can be lastingly improved.

We would like to invite you to apply for a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie
Individual Fellowship to be hosted in one of the partner institutions of
the EBM+ consortium.

Host institutions available:  

    University of Amsterdam
    University of Kent
    University College London

EBM+ is a consortium of philosophers, sociologists and public health
experts who are working to improve the ways in which evidence-based
medicine handles evidence of mechanisms in addition to evidence of
associations. For more information, visit http://ebmplus.org
