The University of Edinburgh - Centre for Reproductive Health

Location: Edinburgh
Salary: £48,288 to £91,753 per annum
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 5th August 2025
Closes: 20th August 2025
Job Ref: 12668

The Opportunity: 

The opportunity has arisen for an innovative obstetric doctor with a passion for increasing global access to high quality intrapartum care to join the I3P team, working within the Centre for Reproductive Health. The I3P Programme is an innovative research collaboration of academic and industry partners aiming to address the short fall in worldwide obstetric care by developing wearable sensors to monitor maternal and foetal vital signs during labour and immediately post-partum.

The postholder will work with our partners in Nigeria, India, Pakistan and Rwanda to test and develop wearable sensors and data driven approaches to detect complications such as obstructed labour and post-partum haemorrhage. The post holder will be supported to develop and investigate their own research questions, aligned with the goals of the I3P program. They will be expected to register for a PhD with the University of Edinburgh, and funding is available to cover registration and tuition.

This post is full-time (40 hours per week); however, we are open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

The salary for this post is £48,288 to £91,753 per annum. 

Appointment above spine point 5 on the AMN2 scale may result in a reduction of contract length.

  • For candidates planning to complete their training in the UK, eligibility to progress in higher specialist training is important so these candidates should either (i) hold a national training number at ST3 or above or (ii) hold MRCOG (UK) or equivalent and have obtained a post for core clinical training.

GMC registration must be obtained before appointment.
