Open for applications – deadline – Wednesday 31 Jan 24
These Postdoctoral Clinical Lectureship positions are designed to provide opportunity for research time for medical doctors who have completed a research degree (PhD or MD) and are currently working towards the completion of speciality training. The posts will have 50% protected academic time and will be available until the CCT is reached. They are part of the normal SCREDS establishment in Scotland, and will be from the already existing pool of training posts. It is expected that on completion of these Lectureships candidates will be in a good position to apply for intermediate fellowships.
