The candidate will receive training in all aspects of adult and paediatric tertiary neuroimaging, including - but not limited to, neuro-oncology, skull base, paediatric, spine, neuroinflammatory and epilepsy with local and regional MDTs in all these areas.
The candidate will contribute to general work of department including the acute / trauma service and thus being proficient in general emergency and trauma neuroimaging for daytime and on call is a requirement. Consultant support will be provided for the tertiary/specialist elements of the on call service.
The current fellowship aims to provide the successful candidate with an excellent educational environment to develop their neuroimaging skills and allow them to take a consultant post in a tertiary neuroscience centre.

The successful applicants will join the DNR team which is integrated in a friendly and welcoming radiology department consisting of 50 consultants. The department provides training for over 20 radiology SpRs, Neuroradiology and Interventional Radiology fellows with plenty of teaching opportunities.
