Clinical Lecturer in Medical Oncology

Clinical Lecturer in Medical Oncology

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lecturer in Medical Oncology in the School of Cancer Sciences. This is a fixed term (up to 6 years or until six months after obtaining CCT, whichever is soonest) and will be available from Wednesday 5th August 2026. The funding for this academic training post is through NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and is part of their SCREDS Clinical Lecturer scheme.

It is expected that you will already hold a higher research degree (MD/PhD), but in exceptional circumstances a talented candidate may be appointed without this qualification, with progression dependent on successful completion of this qualification in the first few years of the post. If the successful candidate does not possess a higher degree, they will be supported by Professor Richard Wilson and other senior clinical academics to develop an appropriate project, pursue necessary funding, and execute research suitable for submission of a post‑graduate degree.

The academic aim of the lectureship is to support research development, including an MD or PhD where appropriate, aimed at submission of intermediate fellowship applications by the end of the lectureship and eventual growth to an independent academic career in cancer research.
