Clinical Lectureship in Neurology

Applications are invited for appointment as an Academic Clinical Lecturer on the Specialty Training Programme in the following:

• 1 x ST4, ST5 or ST6 at City St George's, University of London

• Funding:  NIHR

Eligibility Guidance

This post is for trainees who have completed a relevant higher degree, that is a PhD or MD (original research). You must have submitted your thesis by the time of application and been awarded your higher degree by the post start date.

You must hold a full GMC registration with a current, active licence to practise for the entire duration of your appointment.

ST6 applicants are only eligible to apply if they have a full 12 calendar months to CCT completion at the start date of this post. Applicants who have less than 12 months to CCT completion are not eligible to apply.

Entry Grade

For ST4 entry, applicants must hold a current NTN in Neurology and must be ST4 at post start date.

For ST5 entry, applicants must hold a current NTN in Neurology and must be ST5 at post start date.

For ST6 entry, applicants must hold a current NTN in Neurology and must be ST6 at post start date.

Important information about training grades

Please note that the grade(s) advertised are the grade(s) at post start date. This means that applicants must be eligible to train at the advertised grade(s) at the start date of the post.

Please be aware that trainees are not permitted to repeat training for the purposes of taking up a CL post, and trainees are not permitted to start at a grade that is not advertised.

As an example, if a post is advertised at ST3 grade, then a current ST3 trainee who is on track to become an ST4 trainee at the post start date would NOT, under any circumstances, be permitted to take up the CL post at ST3 grade, as this would entail repeating training that has already been completed. If you are in receipt of an ARCP at the grade you are applying to, you will not be eligible for that grade.

If you are in any doubt as to your eligibility, please contact RecruitmentCoordinators@citystgeorges.ac.uk.

Clinical Benchmarking

As stated above, applicants without a Deanery Reference Number (DRN) or National Training Number (NTN) in the GMC core/specialty training programme and level to which they are applying must have been found appointable at the core/specialty training interviews in the 2026 Recruitment Round 1/Round 2 (where applicable). If no national recruitment is available at the core/specialty training programme and level to which they are applying, applicants without a DRN/NTN are ineligible.

Please note that if you have not been found appointable at the specialty recruitment in 2026, you will not be eligible to proceed any further in the process.

If you have any questions regarding eligibility or benchmarking, please contact RecruitmentCoordinators@citystgeorges.ac.uk.
