We are seeking a highly motivated, enthusiastic individual wishing to excel in both their clinical and academic training, with the ambition to join the next generation of leading clinical academics.
You will spend 50% of your time in specialist clinical training and 50% undertaking research or education/training. Alongside clinical training you will develop a post-doctoral research programme which integrates into the interests of Mental Health research within Warwick Medical School, and you will be encouraged to develop an application for a postdoctoral fellowship and project grants.
Successful exit from the programme will leave you well-placed to apply for competitive research fellowships, academic senior lectureships and to continue to work in the global health research community. Further details of the academic training pathway can be found at www.nihr.ac.uk/.
You will be employed by the University of Warwick and hold an Honorary Contract with a regional NHS trust at the discretion of the training programme director, to suit your clinical training within the West Midlands deanery, for example Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust (CWPT).
About You
Applicants should be medically qualified, ST4 and above, and already hold, or have submitted for Higher Degree (PhD/DPhil/MD). You will have evidence of academic achievement, with publications in your field, and will already hold a NTN, having undertaken some training at Speciality Registrar level.
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 whilst pursuing further training.
