The post represents an exciting opportunity to combine clinical training in Gastroenterology with a programme of post-doctoral research, providing 50% clinical and 50% academic time. The Postgraduate Dean has confirmed that the post has the required educational and staffing approval and will come with an Academic National Training Number [NTN(A)] as part of the South Yorkshire rotation in gastroenterology.

You will have evidence of academic achievement, already with publications in your field, and will hold (or shortly hold) an MD or PhD in Research or equivalent. You will have MRCP or equivalent and be eligible to hold an NTN, or may already hold an NTN, having undertaken some training at Specialty Registrar level. The post is therefore aimed at an individual of ST3 level or preferably above.

The post is ideally suited to individuals wishing to build an academic career in gastroenterology, and in particular those who have already undertaken research and who now wish to continue undertaking research whilst pursuing further training.
