- 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...
