Clinical Lecturer in Rheumatology
- Posted 21 January 2026
- 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 develop a predominantly teaching or educational portfolio. However, it is expected that the Lecturer will contribute to delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching activities. These might include;
- Teaching of clinical skills and other vocational training activities, including seminars and tutorials.
- Teaching or supervision within Postgraduate taught or research courses within the School of Infection & Immunity.
Administrative Duties
The Lecturer will contribute to administrative duties related to research and general running of the School or research theme as directed by their supervisor.
Clinical Duties
Clinical duties will be arranged following discussion with the relevant Training Programme Director in Rheumatology. The purpose of a Clinical Lectureship is to ensure that candidates acquire a CCT, and appropriate clinical training opportunities will be arranged to ensure that this can occur within the duration of the Lectureship. Responsibilities, including on call duties and specialty training will be arranged as necessary depending on the appointee's current training and needs in conjunction with the Training Program Director and local clinical and educational supervisors.
Clinical academic training will be the focus of the post with an 80:20 split between clinical and academic activity. The allocation of research and clinical time is flexible and various patterns of working are possible to suit differing research and clinical requirements. Applications will be welcome from trainees who are working less than full time, and the job plan will be adapted to suit such trainees.

General Information
Clinical Research Fellowships offer medical graduates the opportunity for training in a range
of research methodologies relevant to modern biomedical research in Medicine and related
specialities. Most Clinical Fellows will undertake research training to consolidate career
prospects, by participating in relevant research, which will usually form part of a further
qualification or Higher degree [MSc, MD, PhD]. The post should make individuals competitive for
future NHS teaching hospital appointment or Academic Lecturer/Clinician Scientist awards.
Research Training
All Clinical Research Fellows will have a mentor assigned at the time of appointment. The
mentor will usually become the supervisor for any matriculated Higher degree [see below].
Clinical Research Fellows are encouraged to attend workshops and training in generic
transferable skills organised by the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences
Graduate School. Full details of the programme are available at
http://www.fom.gla.ac.uk/RDTC/. Regular attendance and contributions to research meetings
of their group is expected.
Higher Degrees
Clinical Research Fellows will undertake study towards a Higher Degree, ordinarily a PhD, in
the University of Glasgow. In addition to an academic supervisor, all postgraduate students
will have an independent adviser. Either the adviser or supervisor must be a member of full[1]time University academic staff.
Clinical Work
For registered medical practitioners an honorary grading will be sought from the relevant
NHS Service. Clinical activities may be limited to those required for research training such as recruitment to trials and conduct of clinical research. However, limited additional clinical experience will usually
be available subject to the agreement of the supervisor and NHS Services Clinical Director,
with in-patient and out-patient experience in Medicine and relevant Specialties. Where any
clinical activities of a Service nature extend beyond the usual working week, confirmation in
advance of any such responsibilities and agreement on additional payments must be
obtained from appropriate NHS Services management. The individual will have a contract
with the NHS Services via the appropriate directorate/division, which will specify the agreed
amount of clinical work and the level of remuneration. Since the funding for this post does
not include an element for clinical training or NHS service work, any such clinical work must
be arranged to avoid impacting substantially on research time.
Funding Sources
The duration of funding is as specified in the post-specific information. It will be awarded on
the basis of individual career achievement to date and the likelihood of the fellow
contributing to an effective, existing research team. Salary will be on ST equivalent scale.
As noted above, there may be opportunities for additional salary supplements providing NHS
cover in Medicine and related specialties [by negotiation with local NHS management and
subject to prioritisation of research]. In relation to such supplements, the University will act
as Paymaster only.
Research Training Base
The Clinical Research Fellow will be based at the University of Glasgow but may work at
other clinical sites e.g. the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
Research Supervision
Details of the Institute and supervisorial pool can be found on the Institute’s webpages, as
per the post specific information.
Teaching
There will be no regular commitment to teaching but research fellows are encouraged to
contribute to both problem-based learning and clinical teaching sessions for undergraduate
medical students when research commitments allow.
Assessment of Progress
-
All those matriculated for Higher Degrees will be subject to the Postgraduate School of
the College for progress monitoring. This is completed according to the regulations set
down in the University Calendar.
-
Written progress reports on projects on a monthly basis.
-
Research in Progress presentations, at least annually, to the Institute.
-
Reports/manuscripts of results of clinical trials undertaken, as appropriate.
-
General assessment during clinical work and meetings.
-
Annual interview by independent assessors.
Future
Research fellows will either return to run-through training, or may become eligible for an
academic training post.
For informal enquiries about the role, please contact Professor Neil Basu, Neil.Basu@glasgow.ac.uk
Standard Terms & Conditions
Salary will be on the Clinical Research Fellow scale: £48,288 - £74,591 per annum
This post is full time and fixed term for 3 years.
Although this activity constitutes part of the job, the management of the clinical activity will be the full responsibility of the NHS Organisation. In the unlikely event that the NHS Organisation withdraws the honorary contract, the University will not be able to continue this post and notice of termination will be served.
The successful applicant (if aged under 60) will be eligible to join the Universities’ Superannuation Scheme. Further information regarding the scheme is available from the Superannuation Officer, who is also prepared to advise on questions relating to the transfer of Superannuation benefits. All research and related activities, including grants, donations, clinical trials, contract research, consultancy and commercialisation are required to be managed through the University’s relevant processes (e.g. contractual and financial), in accordance with the University Court’s policies.

Job description
Job Purpose
Civic Finance is an ambitious research project led by Prof. Javier Solana and funded by a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant (Grant Agreement No.: 101165302). The overarching objective of Civic Finance is to develop a complexity-informed theory of law and finance that can underpin the foundations of a civic financial system; in particular, a financial system that refrains from enabling unsustainable levels of CO2 emissions. To achieve this objective, Prof. Solana is putting together an interdisciplinary team of researchers interested in exploring how financial services influence CO2 emissions, and how financial institutions make decisions about the provision of those services.
To support Civic Finance, the School of Law is inviting applications from highly motivated and ambitious candidates for the position of Research Associate. The Research Associate will work closely with Prof. Javier Solana (Professor of Law and Finance) and other members of the Civic Finance team, and will engage with a small interdisciplinary group of world-leading scholars who sit on the project’s Advisory Board.
Working closely with Prof. Solana, the successful candidate will be responsible for collecting and analysing data on the different services that financial institutions provide to a specific group of high-emitting market actors, and for using relevant techniques to identify the most influential financial institutions (e.g. network analysis). The successful candidate will also be responsible for building an agent-based model to study the behaviour of financial institutions and other market actors, and the impact of different legal interventions on that behaviour. Moreover, the successful candidate will be responsible for presenting these analyses in high-quality academic papers that will be submitted for publication at top-tier academic journals. Lastly, the successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals relevant to Civic Finance.
The Research Associate will have ample opportunities to plan and develop their career while in post. Most notably, the University of Glasgow is a signatory to the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers (the 'Researcher Development Concordat'), which commits 10 days pro-rata for professional development to all research staff. As part of that commitment, the successful candidate will have access to a wide range of opportunities designed by the University of Glasgow to support its postdoctoral researchers. To learn more about the implications of the University’s implementation of the Concordat for your career, please visit this website. In addition, the successful candidate will be able to design a bespoke development programme with the guidance of Prof. Solana and the Research Support Office to identify the most relevant learning and development opportunities available at the University. Moreover, the successful candidate will be able to build a global professional network of academic researchers and practitioners, benefiting from the international networks of the Civic Finance team and the University of Glasgow more broadly. Lastly, the successful candidate will be invited to join relevant research clusters within the School of Law, such as the Corporate & Financial Law and the Just Transitions research clusters, including their regular research seminars, as well as other relevant research clusters across the University. Where appropriate, the successful candidate will also have the opportunity to develop new projects and to engage in teaching opportunities to support their career planning.

Job description
Project overview: Navigating the Neural Frontier: Embedding Ethics and Epistemology in Neurotech
This PDRA’s position is part of a major UKRI cross-council interdisciplinary project bringing together philosophers and scientists to address the ethical and epistemological challenges posed by rapidly advancing neurotechnology. The project supports postdoctoral researchers based at both the Cogito Epistemology Research Centre and the Centre for Neurotechnology, with regular opportunities for collaboration across the two centres to achieve the project's integrated research goals.
The successful candidate will contribute to developing innovative theoretical frameworks at the intersection of epistemology, ethics, and emerging neurotechnology. Core research areas include: a theory of trust in contexts where memory can be technologically enhanced and where brain-computer interfaces mediate the transmission of information; a neuroauthenticity framework examining whether and how memory modification affects authentic self-knowledge and self-understanding; and an epistemic risk assessment framework examining how neurotechnological design choices affect sensitivity to defeating evidence, evidence retention, and rational belief revision. The postdoc will have the opportunity to explore foundational questions about epistemic agency, testimonial credibility, and the conditions for knowledge in technologically augmented minds - questions that are both philosophically rich and increasingly urgent as neurotechnology advances from laboratory to real-world application.
The position involves collaboration with neuroscientists and includes a structured cross-disciplinary training component, offering the opportunity to engage directly with cutting-edge empirical research on memory enhancement and brain-computer interfaces. This provides a unique environment for developing philosophical frameworks that are both theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded.
