Clinical Lecturer in Plastic Surgery at University of Glasgow

School of Medicine, Dentistry & Nursing

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lecturer in Plastic Surgery in the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing. This is a fixed term (up to 6 years or up until six months after obtaining CCT, whichever is soonest). 

Suitable applicants will hold MRCS or equivalent. It is expected that applicants will already hold a higher research degree (MD / PhD), but in exceptional circumstances talented candidates may be appointed without this qualification, although progression would be dependent upon them successfully completing this qualification in the first years of the post. If the appointee does not possess a higher degree, they 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 Plastic Surgery and they must already have a national training number at the time of taking up the post. 

Whilst clinical training will be a major focus of the Lectureship in order to ensure the appointee can successfully complete their certificate of completion of training (CCT), this post will also provide an exceptional opportunity for combined academic training. Clinical training will focus on Plastic Surgery, 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. For this Lectureship, the School are particularly keen to develop further capacity in our areas of internationally recognised research excellence. However, applicants who have other research interests that are aligned with College and Institute strategy are still encouraged to apply. 

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.
