Applications are invited from outstanding early career clinical academics, medical and dental, for five-year tenure track senior research fellowships to be held in one of the five Scottish Universities with Medical or Dental Schools.

Funded by a partnership between the Chief Scientist Office, Scottish Government Health and Social Care Directorates (which together support NHS Research Scotland, NRS) and the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and St. Andrews, the scheme represents the post-CCT element of the Scottish Clinical Research Excellence Development Scheme.

Applicants should have post-doctoral (PhD/MD) research experience, a strong publication record in your discipline and have won competitive research or fellowship funding at some time prior to application. The scheme is available to those working in the full range of medical and dental disciplines, including academic primary care and public health.

Full applications must be received by 5pm Monday 12 June 2017 and should be made via Universities Scotland by email to Nicola Cowsill

Queries regarding eligibility should be directed to the partner University that candidates are approaching to support their application.
