MRC expert reviewer selectors are responsible for identifying the most relevant experts that could review applications for funding submitted through MRC funding opportunities.

This is a flexible role and you can choose which MRC funding opportunities you work on and how many applications you are sent at any time. Expert reviewer selectors usually work with us remotely.

Applications from individuals currently on a career break or parental leave are welcome.
