The University of Manchester invites applications for our NIHR Clinical Lectureships. You will join our successful Integrated Academic Training (IAT) programme which is funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).

The Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health are offering Clinical Lectureships across a range of specialities including most medical and surgical specialities. The full list is available at sites.manchester.ac.uk/icat/specialties-and-themes/ General Practitioners are also welcome to apply.

If you are interested in conducting Clinical Pharmacology research, there are possibilities for you to do so as part of the research component of your ACL. However you will be required to obtain an ACL in one of the clinical specialties listed above or on the link.

Applicants must hold a PhD/MD at time of appointment, have outstanding potential for development as a clinical academic and their research must complement existing research strengths within the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health (see www.mhs.manchester.ac.uk/research/overview). Hospital trainees must also have a National Training Number (NTN).

Clinical Lectureships are for a maximum of 4-years or until Completion of Clinical Training (CCT), whichever is soonest, and will be subject to satisfactory annual review. You will spend 50% of your time undertaking research and developing your academic skills and 50% of your time completing specialty training.

The appointment requires the health and care partner to fund 0.5 FTE of the applicant's salary. However, this is not a requirement at the application stage, since the IAT team will support shortlisted candidates in exploring potential funding before and after the interview (for NHS Trusts already partnered with the University of Manchester). Therefore, all applicants should contact Dr John Blaikley, ACL Programme Lead, email: john.blaikley@manchester.ac.uk to discuss this further as early as possible and are also strongly encouraged to submit an expression of interest sites.manchester.ac.uk/icat/training-pathways/academic-clinical-lecturers/#expression

Interview date for successful applicants: Thursday 9^th October 2025

Please review all supporting documents linked below as part of your application. Please combine your CV with your answers to the NIHR CL Supplementary Questions as only one document upload is allowed per application.
