Clinical Lecturer in Child Health

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lecturer in Child Health in the School of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing. This post is fixed term (up to 6 years or up until six months after obtaining CCT, whichever is soonest).

You will hold a MRCPCH or equivalent and will have completed general professional training in paediatrics. It is expected that you will already hold a higher research degree or have embarked on a research programme that will lead to a MD or a PhD.

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

The post will be based within the School of Medicine 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 you can successfully complete your certificate of completion of training (CCT), this post will also provide an exceptional opportunity for combined academic training.

Clinical training will focus on a subspeciality in paediatrics, and it is anticipated that clinical training will take place within the main University hospital sites – predominantly at the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow.

Research training will be undertaken in the world class academic environment of the University of Glasgow with excellent opportunities within the School of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing and any applicants with research interests that are aligned with College and School strategy are encouraged to apply.
