The post forms an integral part of the clinical training programme led by the Training Program Director (TPD) and the Academic Training Lead.

2. Cardiology: Dr Dwayne Conway (TPD) and Professor Julian Gunn (Academic Training Lead)
3. Nephrology: Dr Ragada El-Damanawi (TPD) and Dr James Fotheringham (Academic Training Lead)
The post represents an exciting opportunity to combine clinical training 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.
You will have evidence of academic achievement and will hold a PhD 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 aimed at an individual of ST3 level or above. Applicants are expected to have already gained expertise relevant to the specialty and theme outlined in the job description. This can include both preclinical (e.g. model systems, drug screens, identification of therapeutic targets) and clinical (e.g. trial design, imaging, biomarkers, disease stratification) expertise.
The post is ideally suited to individuals wishing to build an academic career, and in particular those who have already undertaken research and who now wish to continue undertaking research.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
