If you would like to join the lab as a PhD student, you could search for funding opportunities at King's College London, or if you are an international student, there may be funding from your country allowing you to spend part of your PhD in our lab. The MRC-DTP is now also open to international/incl EU non-UK residents, and a fee waiver for successful students has been introduced. You could also self-fund with fees being advertised below:
If you are a UK medical graduate, you could apply for academic clinical fellowships or for Wellcome or MRC stipends, but you could also apply to the fully funded Wellcome Trust PhD programme if you have already started your clinical training or have completed this, the programme is open for any health professional including clinical psychologists: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/ioppn/study/research-funding/mental-health-research . I am one of the supervisors on the programme.
If you have an MD or PhD already, you could apply for various postdoctoral funding schemes including those in your country of origin, also if you are a psychiatrist you could apply for clinical academic fellowships funded by the NHS.
If you are an undergraduate or clinician with no research experience you could also consider our MSc in Affective Disorders where I could supervise your research project link to our MSc in Affective Disorders page
