This is a Senior Clinical Lecturer post based within the Department of Women’s and Children’s Health, with a view to this individual commencing their appointment being physically based at the Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Research Programme. If they are clinically active, then clinical duties would be at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre, Malawi, and would be arranged based on the interests of the individual and departmental needs.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop an internationally competitive programme of research in the broad area of Global Women’s Health.
