Non-Medical Clinical Lecturer x 2

Applications are invited for Non-Medical Clinical Lecturer posts. These roles are available to nurses, midwives, allied health professionals (NMAHPs) and pharmacists. The posts are for a maximum of four years. The aim of these posts are to provide time and support for early post-doctoral NMAHPs to develop their clinical academic careers, conduct preliminary research and receive support and training to enable them to be successful in submission of post-doctoral or intermediate level research fellowships.

Non-Medical Clinical Lecturer posts are 50% clinical and 50% research, with the time to be taken flexibly. The posts are not limited by clinical specialty, area of health and/or care services or research focus as long as it is to the benefit of patients and/or public health.

The successful post-holders will continue their clinical roles in their employing organisations at 50% full-time equivalent (FTE) and therefore retain their employment rights and pension. The 50% FTE research time will be funded by NHSE East of England in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, where the post-holder will hold a secondment contract in an appropriate department. The choice of academic department should be determined by their field of research and one that can provide them with the best research-active environment and mentorship to support their career goals. Funding will be directly allocated to the NHS host organisation from NHSE East of England.
