Job description

Overview

Warwick Medical School seeks to appoint an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in General Practice or Obstetrics and Gynaecology, based at the University of Warwick. 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.

Position Details

• You will spend 50% of your time undertaking specialist clinical training (O&G) or practice (GP) and 50% undertaking research or education/training.
• Alongside clinical training/practice you will develop a post-doctoral research programme which integrates into the interests of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology research group, or Primary Care research within Warwick Medical School.
• 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/

Placement and Contract

• 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 University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) or University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (UHCW).
• GP candidates will have completed their clinical training, and will combine academic training with clinical service as a salaried or self-employed GP.
• You will have submitted your PhD/MD at the time you apply and will provide evidence that you have been fully awarded your degree by the time you take up the post.
• Contract duration: 4 years (to a maximum of 4 years total funding). Funding is available for 1 post. The salary will be at the clinical scale, depending on qualifications and experience. Note that NIHR funds GP CL posts at a maximum equivalent to the top of the pre-2003 consultant contract pay scale. The successful applicant must be in post by 1 September 2026.

Candidate Requirements

• Applicants should be medically qualified, ST3 and above (O&G) or have obtained CCT (GP).
• Potential candidates must have full GMC registration 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 an NTN, having undertaken some training at Specialty Registrar level (O&G).

About the Role

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.
