Clinical Lecturer in Medical Oncology

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lecturer in Medical Oncology in the School of Cancer Sciences. This is a fixed term (up to 6 years or up until six months after obtaining CCT, whichever is soonest) and will be available from Wednesday 5th August 2026. The funding for this academic training post is through NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and is part of their SCREDS Clinical Lecturer scheme.

You will hold MRCP or equivalent and will have completed general professional training. It is expected that you will already hold a higher research degree (MD/PhD), but in exceptional circumstances a talented candidate may be appointed without this qualification, although progression would be dependent upon them successfully completing this qualification in the first few years of the post. If the successful candidate does not possess a higher degree, they will be supported by Professor Richard Wilson and other senior clinical academics in medical oncology as well as senior academics in the School of Cancer Sciences and Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Scotland Centre in developing an appropriate project, pursuing any necessary funding and executing research suitable for submission of a post-graduate degree.

You will be appointed at the appropriate level of Specialty Trainee and will enter the West of Scotland Higher Training Programme in Medical Oncology. You must already have a UK national training number in Medical Oncology at the time of taking up the post.

The post will be based within the School of Cancer Sciences in the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS) of the University of Glasgow.  Whilst clinical training will be a major focus of the Lectureship in order to ensure the appointee can successfully complete their certificate of completion of training (CCT), this post will also provide an exceptional opportunity for combined academic training.

Clinical training will cover all aspects of the Medical Oncology Curriculum and will provide opportunities to develop subspeciality expertise in tumour sites of particular interest to the appointee.  Clinical training will take place predominantly at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre. However, if required for training, there are opportunities to pursue a period of clinical training in other Centres.
