Clinical Lecturer in Rheumatology

Overview

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lecturer in Rheumatology in the School of Infection & Immunity. This is a fixed term (up to 6 years or up until six months after obtaining CCT, whichever is soonest).

You will hold MRCP or equivalent and will have completed general professional training in Medicine. It is expected that you will already hold a higher research degree (MD/PhD), but in exceptional circumstances you may be appointed without this qualification, although progression would be dependent upon you successfully completing this qualification in the first years of the post. If you do not possess a higher degree, you will be supported in developing an appropriate project, pursuing any necessary funding and executing research suitable for submission of a post-graduate degree.

The successful candidate will be appointed at the appropriate level of Specialty Trainee and will enter the West of Scotland Higher Training Programme in Rheumatology. 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 Infection & Immunity in the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS). 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 Rheumatology, with the potential to develop subspeciality expertise. It is anticipated that clinical training will take place within the main University hospital sites – predominantly at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Glasgow Royal Infirmary. However, as required for training, there are opportunities to pursue a period of clinical training in other West of Scotland Centres.

Research training will be undertaken in the world class academic environment of the University of Glasgow with excellent interdisciplinary opportunities, including immunological translational science and experimental medicine. For this Lectureship, the School are particularly keen to develop further capacity in our areas of internationally recognised research excellence, for example psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, neuroinflammation and vasculitis. However, applicants who have other research interests that are aligned with College and Institute strategy are still encouraged to apply.
