The University makes all CL appointments, usually lasting for a fixed-term of no more than four years. CL posts provide 50% protected research time and 50% clinical training. During your appointment you will also undertake some student teaching and mentorship.
CL’s are expected to establish a portfolio of research activity, which can support an application for appointment as a locally funded Senior Clinical Lecturer or Nationally awarded Clinician Scientist, funded by another grant awarding body (e.g. NIHR, MRC and Wellcome Trust).
Securing a CL appointment is extremely competitive. Holding a higher degree (PhD or MD) is essential for appointment to all posts.
Funding and support
Each year, we typically advertise 3 to 4 CL posts.
All of our CL’s are entitled to £1000 per annum to attend approved academic conferences and training courses. In addition, our CL’s have access to a £5000 grant to support their research projects.
Any available posts can be found on the University job pages.
