NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in Respiratory Medicine

The role

We are looking to appoint an Academic Clinical Lecturer in Respiratory Medicine with a subspecialty interest in Obstructive Lung Disease or Pleural Medicine to join the dynamic and successful team within the Academic Respiratory Unit.

This post offers an exciting opportunity for integrated academic and clinical training to those who are advanced in their specialty training, have completed a research doctorate or equivalent in a relevant field and show outstanding potential for continuing a career in academic respiratory medicine.

What will you be doing?

As the successful applicant you will be expected to continue to develop an academic career in health services research. This will include the design and delivery of prospective studies and randomised trials to improve on the existing evidence base in obstructive lung disease or pleural medicine, alongside other research activity including publications and grant submissions. You will be expected to maintain and consolidate competencies and experience as a specialist trainee in order to gain a CCT in Respiratory Medicine and to prepare a high-quality application for either new research or a post-doctoral or clinician scientist fellowship. You will also be expected to take part in and gain more experience of teaching in a variety of contexts.

You should apply if

Doctors with speciality experience and who have completed a PhD/MD (or equivalent in a relevant field) are eligible to apply. Clinical Lectureships are designed for those who have already had a substantial period of clinical training, and for candidates working towards a CCT.

We welcome applications from all members of our community and are particularly encouraging those from diverse groups, such as members of the LGBT+ and BAME communities, to join us.
