Clinical Research Fellow

We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.

The Role
The Newcastle NIHR Patient Safety Research Collaborative (Newcastle PSRC) is inviting applications for an Early-Career Clinical Research Fellow in Patient Safety. This is an integrated clinical academic (ICA) career development role. The post holder is expected to become a next-generation leader in patient safety research with a strong presence in NHS practice.

The post holder will hold a substantive appointment with either the University or a partnering NHS Trust, with an integrated nomination with the other partner to undertake the full remit of the duties of the role. As part of our commitment to career development for research colleagues, the University has developed 3 levels of research role profiles. These profiles set out firstly the generic competences and responsibilities expected of role holders at each level and secondly the general qualifications and experiences needed for entry at a particular level.

At appointment, you will join the Academic Career Development leadership team of the Newcastle PSRC, as an advanced trainee. A key purpose of your role will be to build integrated clinical academic capacity and research activity relevant to patient safety, across the region and nationally. In the Newcastle PSRC, we understand patient safety broadly, and focus on issues such as integration of care, practitioner and patient behaviours, polypharmacy, the impact of disadvantage, and AI and data.

Potential applicants without an existing clinical or practice link are encouraged to contact us to discuss potential practice opportunities. Given the clinical nature of the role successful applicants will undergo an additional NHS appointment process appropriate to their profession, level and current employment status.

For informal enquiries about the opportunity, please contact: Niina Kolehmainen (niina.kolehmainen@newcastle.ac.uk) or Chris Lovegrove chris.lovegrove@newcastle.ac.uk.
