Clinical Lecturer in Rheumatology

• Salary Clinical Academic Pay Scales: £49,492 - £74,591 per annum
• LocationGlasgow
• Job Type Clinical
• Reference191353
• Expiry 04 March 2026 at 23:45

Job description

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.

Job Purpose

The academic aim of the lectureship would be to allow research development to support intermediate fellowship applications by the end of the lectureship and eventual growth to an independent academic career.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

Research

The appointee will have an established interest in research with a record of achievement in an area relevant to existing interests in the School of Infection and Immunity within the College of MVLS. The appointee will be expected to:

- Develop a programme of research under supervision of senior investigators in the Institute of Infection & Immunity, in a subject area in basic and/or translational and/or clinical science related to rheumatology.

- Plan, design and implement projects with collaborators as appropriate; and to contribute to and submit grant applications and publications of impactful papers.

For this post the applicant will develop their program of research under the supervision of senior academic staff Professors Siebert and Basu.

There are extensive laboratory and clinical facilities for research within the School (https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/infectionimmunity/), College of MVLS, and related Schools and Institutes within the University of Glasgow.

Academic support will be available during all annual research and training assessments to ensure that there is adequate balance between academic and clinical training. In addition to annual reviews of clinical progress, there will be reviews of academic progress within the Institute.

Teaching

The anticipation is that protected non-clinical time will be predominantly used for research. This post is not suitable for trainees wishing to dev...

JOB SPECIFICATION

Title of Post

Teacher of History (part-time)

Purpose of Post  To teach History to students on the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma programme

(years 12 and 13) and the Pre-IB programme (year 11) for one academic year to provide cover

To maintain and improve the quality of educational provision within the subject area and
contribute to the general academic direction and operation of the College.

Context of
Teaching and
Learning

St Clare’s offers a uniquely dynamic and supportive environment for teachers of IB and Pre-IB
History.

Small class sizes ensure that teaching is a real pleasure. An individual approach, where
students are highly motivated and stimulated by their studies, leads to excellent working
relationships.

Overview of
Role

All IB students (c240 students) must study at least one Group 3 Individuals and Societies
(Humanities) subject and many students opt to study two.  The History course is very popular
with more than 40 students a year choosing to study it.  History results are excellent, and
many students go on to study the subject at leading universities both in the UK and overseas.

This role represents an excellent opportunity for a dedicated teacher to teach in the uniquely
dynamic and supportive environment at St. Clare’s.

Reporting
Structure

This role reports to the Head of Humanities.

There are currently nine members of the Humanities department.   In addition to History, the
department includes Geography, Global Politics, Economics, Business Management,
Psychology, and ESS.

Key
Responsibilities

Teaching
•  Teaching History at higher and standard levels (higher students have four hours teaching

a week and standard students have three hours a week)

•  Possibly teaching History to Pre-IB students
•

Leading an extra-curricular CAS activity group

Personal Tutor
•  There may also be an additional role as a Personal Tutor for approximately 12 students

While every effort has been made to describe the main duties and responsibilities of the post,
each individual task necessary for the successful performance of the role may not be
specifically identified. The Teacher of History may therefore be required to undertake other
tasks and duties that are commensurate with the grade and nature of the role and/or in the
reasonable discretion of the College.
