Clinical Research Fellow in Experimental Medicine

Job description:

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a clinical trainee to gather experience in experimental medicine (EM) research through a Clinical Fellowship hosted jointly by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Facility (CRF): Sheffield and STH Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Respiratory Medicine and Diabetes and Endocrine (GRaDE) Clinical Directorate. This fellowship will enable the successful candidate to combine broad practical experience in cutting edge projects across the EM portfolio within the CRF (for up to 50% of the week), whilst for the remaining 50% of their time the fellow will join the Respiratory Research team within Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Respiratory Medicine and Diabetes and Endocrine (GRaDE) Clinical Directorate

This fellowship offers a comprehensive introduction to early phase clinical research, working alongside internationally renowned clinical staff and translational scientists. It is aimed towards pre- or post- MRCP candidates who have an interest in academic medicine as a potential future career path. The 12-month funding affords an opportunity to learn the principles and practice of EM studies and the experience, time and support network required to submit applications for a future PhD fellowship in a chosen area. For suitable candidates keen to develop this post further, there may also be the opportunity to extend the funding to 24 months to enable the candidate to undertake an MD, if interested.

Candidates are expected to be highly motivated, enthusiastic individuals wishing to excel in both clinical and academic training and with the ambition to be amongst the next generation of leading academic clinicians. An understanding of, and the ability to implement, good clinical practice (GCP) is essential.

The University of Sheffield is a remarkable place to work. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Their diverse backgrounds, abilities and beliefs make Sheffield a world-class university.
