Clinical Lectureship (CL) posts

Clinical academic opportunities post-higher degree include Clinical Lectureship positions, National Clinician Scientist Award and Intermediate and Senior Clinical Research Fellowships.

Some posts such as Clinical Lectureship positions are aimed at clinicians that are still within their speciality training, however other posts are for more senior clinicians at consultant level.

The Clinical Lectureships allow the post holder to pursue their clinical and academic careers in conjunction with one another, whereas Post-Doctoral Fellowships allow the post holder to devote a greater percentage of their time to research.

Clinical Lectureship positions provide the opportunity for post-higher degree research whilst completing specialty training, 50% time clinical training and 50% academic activities.
