Contract Type: Fixed-term for 4 years or until CCT is reached (whichever is sooner)

This NIHR Clinical Lecturer post in Endocrinology/Diabetes has been awarded to The Medical School at The University of Sheffield as part of the prestigious UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC)/ Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) integrated academic training pathway. The post represents an exciting opportunity to join the large and successful research groups in Endocrinology and Diabetes and combine clinical training in Endocrinology and Diabetes with a programme of post-doctoral research, providing 50% clinical and 50% academic time. The Postgraduate Dean has confirmed that the post has the required educational and staffing approval and will come with an Academic National Training Number [NTN(A)] as part of the South Yorkshire rotation in Endocrinology, Diabetes and General Internal Medicine.

The post forms an integral part of the Endocrinology and Diabetes clinical training programme. The successful candidate will join and develop a research programme which extends and strengthens our existing research within the Endocrinology and Diabetes theme in the Department of Oncology and Metabolism. You will also contribute to the new Postgraduate Training Programme in Endocrinology and Diabetes.

Further details of the UKCRC/MMC integrated academic training pathway can be found at www.nihr.ac.uk/

You will have evidence of academic achievement, already with publications in your field, and will hold (or shortly hold) an MD or PhD in Research or equivalent. You will have MRCP or equivalent and be eligible to hold an NTN, or may already hold an NTN, having undertaken some training at Specialty Registrar level. The post is therefore aimed at an individual of ST3 level or preferably above. Experience in Endocrinology/Diabetes and in unselected GIM is essential.

The post is ideally suited to individuals wishing to build an academic career in Endocrinology and Diabetes, and in particular those who have already undertaken research and who now wish to continue undertaking research whilst pursuing further training.
