The post will provide opportunities to develop an independent programme of research aligned to the candidate’s interests and the strengths of the Sheffield academic and clinical diabetes and endocrinology community. Relevant areas may include, but are not limited to, diabetes, obesity, metabolism, endocrinology, translational medicine and patient-centred approaches to long-term condition management.

Applicants should have evidence of academic achievement and will hold an MD, PhD or equivalent higher research degree. They should have MRCP or equivalent, be eligible for registration with the GMC, and hold or be eligible to hold a National Training Number in Diabetes and Endocrinology.
