The University isn’t just any employer. We are part of a local community and a contributor to global thinking, progress and research.  In Edinburgh, you are in one of the world’s most attractive cities with active arts and social sectors, while working in a University that has made significant contributions to society, medicine, physics and teaching for over four centuries. Our people have helped create the modern world and are working on more ground-breaking technologies and practices. Join the University of Edinburgh and you’ll be making a difference to everything around you.

Each post is designed to combine specialist clinical training in the successful candidate’s chosen speciality with enhanced academic and research opportunities which will involve a balance of research and clinical duties.  This will allow each successful applicant to establish a successful research foundation in their chosen area.

Vacancies are open to:

• Candidates from across the UK

You are required to be a practicing healthcare professional in the UK/Republic of Ireland, and to be registered with a national professional regulatory body (eg the General Medical Council) in the UK/Republic of Ireland.

Candidates must hold (or obtain by the start date of the post) a specialty training position with a National Training Number (NTN), with the expectation that they will undertake their clinical duties in NHS Lothian.  Exceptional circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  Candidates must have GMC registration.  Candidates must have a postgraduate degree (PhD or MD) or must have submitted their thesis by the application deadline.  Candidates must have relevant clinical experience in chosen specialty, and evidence of conducting research, with a commitment to a career in academic medicine.  Candidates must have excellent communication skills and an excellent command of the English language.  Evidence of distinction in career to date, e.g. prizes, awards, bursaries is desirable, as are the ability to deliver research that can be published in leading academic publications; a successful record of writing and presenting research; and proactive and efficient administrative ability.  Also desirable is experience in undergraduate teaching or postgraduate teaching and a publication record with publications in peer-reviewed journals, presentations of research at conferences, and to be active in attracting grant funding.
