Continuing on the success of the NIHR-Clinical Lectureship scheme, we are able to invite applications for a post in paediatrics (renal medicine). This post provides an excellent opportunity for a paediatric trainee with outstanding potential, to develop a successful career in academic paediatric renal medicine within a thriving and supportive environment. Clinical training will be based at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. Research opportunities and environments are available in laboratory sciences, clinical sciences, health services research, clinical trials and epidemiology within the University of Bristol and associated NHS research teams.

The Academic Clinical Lectureship is designed to provide postdoctoral support for a talented clinical academic with a bona fide interest in this discipline who has submitted their higher degree (PhD, MD or equivalent) prior to applying for the post. It provides 50% salary support to allow the clinician to set aside time to develop their academic skills with the remaining 50% funding provided for clinical training.

The Lectureship is available for a maximum of four years starting on or after 1st October 2019 and should enable the completion of clinical training, as well as the attainment of further support for research (e.g. intermediate or postdoctoral fellowship or personal grants) and experience in teaching.
