We seek to appoint a dynamic and committed colleague to join our well-regarded department to share in delivering and further developing our high-quality services. The department is eager to support the professional development of our colleagues, and we would expect the successful post holder to be able to develop subspecialty interests (on agreement with the clinical lead).
We have a busy schedule of clinical research in PMR, GCA, large vessel vasculitis, inflammatory arthritis, ILD, and epidemiology, and we have a healthy track record of involvement in NIHR portfolio and commercial studies. The successful applicant would be encouraged to engage with and contribute to the department’s research programme. There is great opportunity for the post holder to develop their own fields of special interest.
If keen, there are also opportunities for the post holder to develop an educational role with the newly established Anglia Ruskin Medical School, as well as in the trust and deanery.
