We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Lectureship in Haematology with a particular interest in blood cancers/malignant haematology, tenable in the School of Cancer Sciences, University of Glasgow. This is a fixed term (up to 6 years or up until six months after obtaining CCT, whichever is soonest).

The funding for this academic training post is through NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and is part of their SCREDS scheme. You will hold MRCP (UK) or equivalent and will have completed general professional training. It is expected that you will already hold a higher research degree (MD/PhD), but, in exceptional circumstances, you may be appointed without this qualification, although progression would be dependent upon you successfully completing this qualification in the first years of the post. If you do not possess a higher degree, you will be supported by Professor Mhairi Copland, other senior clinical academics in Haematology and the senior academics in the School of Cancer Sciences as well as Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Scotland Centre in developing an appropriate project, pursuing any necessary funding and executing research suitable for submission of a postgraduate degree.

The successful candidate will be appointed at the appropriate level of Specialty Trainee and will enter the West of Scotland Higher Training Programme in Haematology. You must already have a UK national training number in Haematology at the time of taking up the post. The post will be based within the School of Cancer Sciences in the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences. Whilst clinical training will be a major focus of the Lectureship to ensure you can successfully complete your MRCPath and certificate of completion of training (CCT), this post will also provide an exceptional opportunity for combined academic training.

Research training will be undertaken in the world class academic environment of the University of Glasgow with excellent opportunities in all aspects of haematological oncology research.  For this Lectureship, the School is particularly keen to develop further capacity in its areas of Internationally recognised research excellence, for example leukaemia, stem cells, developmental therapeutics and early/late phase clinical trials, pre-clinical blood cancer models, therapy resistance, energetic stress, tumour microenvironment and data analysis. However, if you have other research interests that are aligned with College and School strategy, you are encouraged to apply.
