Department of Women’s and Children’s Health / University of Liverpool (Experimental Arthritis Treatment Centre for Children).

The University of Liverpool in partnership with Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust are keen to appoint a candidate training in a paediatric specialty caring for children with inflammatory disease, preferentially (but not limited to) Rheumatology, Immunology and Infectious Diseases.

We are seeking applications from medically qualified candidates with a track record and interest in childhood inflammatory disease, and advanced clinical/translational research expertise who will build on and add to the success of our group. Successful candidates will demonstrate an ability to win funding for clinical research in a relevant area, to deliver publications and clinical health impact.
