Clinical Assistant Professor in General Adult Psychiatry (Fixed term)

The University of Nottingham seeks applications for a Clinical Assistant Professor (Clinical Lecturer) in General Adult Psychiatry. A clinical lectureship in General Adult Psychiatry provides advanced integrated academic and clinical training for those pursuing a career in General Adult Psychiatry. The post will have a strong research commitment in mental health disorders research. You will develop your research and academic skills, selecting a research supervisor and research project around your interests in General Adult Psychiatry and undertake research. You will become a member of the well-developed Clinical Academic Training Programme in the School of Medicine, University of Nottingham (www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/catp). The programme provides support in clinical academic training, with research funding applications, networking and mentorship. 

This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 4 years (if full-time or up to a maximum of 6 years if part-time, pro-rata) or until award of Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT), whichever is the shorter. Hours of work are full-time (38.5 hours) or Part time (23.1 hours).

This post is intended for applicants already having received doctoral level training and have been awarded a PhD/MD by research. You will spend 50% of your time in Psychiatry research and academic training at the University of Nottingham, with 50% of the time consolidating your clinical experience in General Adult Psychiatry. 10% of time in post (split between clinical and academic components) will be spent delivering undergraduate or postgraduate taught course teaching. You would be expected to develop plans for a post-doctoral or clinician scientist award which may shorten the lectureship. The post does not attract its own National Training Number (NTN) but existing NTN holders with more than one year (full-time equivalent) to CCT and who have already been awarded a PhD/MD by research may be eligible for the award of an NTN(A). This should be discussed with the Directors of the Clinical Academic Training Programme (www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/catp). An individualised clinical and academic training programme will be designed for you, taking into account your clinical experience and any previous research to determine your research and clinical training needs.

Applicants must hold a higher research degree (PhD, MD by research or equivalent) in a relevant subject area and hold Membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists as well as GMC registration with a license to practice.

All applicants are required to complete the ‘Clinical Lectureship Supplementary Questions’ documentation for candidates applying for a clinical lectureship as part of integrated academic training. This can be found at the bottom of the advert.
