NIHR Clinical Lectureships (CLs) are tailored training posts, which incorporate academic and clinical training.
About the CL
- This award supports doctors in establishing themselves as independent researchers and future leaders. It normally lasts 4 years or until completion of clinical training (CCT) is achieved*
- As a Clinical Lecturer, you will spend 50% of your time in specialist clinical training and 50% in research/academic training. The Clinical Lectureship represents the second major phase of the Integrated Academic Training (IAT) pathway, following an Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF), and requires a relevant PhD or MD
- A CL is ideal if you have demonstrated strong doctoral research achievements and show clear potential for continued development as a clinical academic in research, educational research, or both
*GP appointments will start post-CCT and last typically for 4 years
This role brings excellent opportunities to link directly with experienced professors, researchers and academics within EHU and access administrative support and guidance via the ICAT office.
CLs are expected to contribute to the EHU research environment and academic activity during their time with us. It is expected that CLs will produce high quality research outputs affiliated to EHU. Also, CLs will be expected to provide feedback on their experience during the programme via internal surveys and feedback meetings.
