Clinical Lecturer in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lecturer in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology in the School of Infection and Immunity. This is a fixed term (up to 6 years or up until six months after obtaining CCT, whichever is soonest).

You will hold MRCP or equivalent and have a national training number at the time of taking up the post. It is expected that you will already hold a higher research degree (MD / PhD), but in exceptional circumstances a talented candidate may be appointed without this qualification, although progression would be dependent upon them successfully completing this qualification in the first years of the post.  If the successful candidate does not possess a higher degree, they will be supported in developing an appropriate project, pursuing any necessary funding and executing research suitable for submission of a post-graduate degree.

The successful candidate will be appointed at the appropriate level of Specialty Trainee and will enter the West of Scotland Higher Training Programme in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology.

You must already have a national training number at the time of taking up the post.

The post will be based within the School of Infection and Immunity in the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS) of the University of Glasgow. Whilst clinical training will be a major focus of the Lectureship in order to ensure the appointee can successfully complete their certificate of completion of training (CCT), this post will also provide an exceptional opportunity for combined academic training.

Clinical training will focus on Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology. It is anticipated that clinical training will take place at designated West of Scotland Centres.

Research training will be undertaken in the world class academic environment of the University of Glasgow with excellent opportunities in Virology (Prof Emma Thomson, next-generation sequencing of emerging viruses; Dr Antonia Ho, clinical respiratory viral epidemiology), Bacteriology (Prof Tom Evans, bacterial immunology; Prof Andrew Roe, molecular microbiology), Immunobiology (Prof James Brewer, immune imaging; Prof Jonathan Cavanagh, neuroinflammation), and Parasitology (Prof Andy Waters; malaria).

We are particularly keen to develop further capacity in our areas of Internationally recognised research excellence, for example Mycobacteriology. However, applicants who have other research interests that are aligned with College and School strategy are still encouraged to apply.
