SCRED post

We have SCRED posts available which are advertised nationally every few years. This is a part-time Clinical Lecturer post taken up during training for the duration of the training post. It is expected that this time will be spent furthering post-doctoral research with a view to an academic research career.

Clinical Lecturer posts

We have posts available for trainees within the West of Scotland who would like to do a higher research and teaching position within their higher blocks. These posts are taken up on a part-time basis over 12 months and will be advertised through NES.  Applicants are required to get permission from the training committee before applying.

Clinical Research fellows

There is currently funding for four research fellows in Anaesthesia. These posts come with full salary support by virtue of a part-time commitment to clinical duties. The posts will be advertised annually and appointment is for a two year period. Successful candidates are expected to undertake a higher degree.

Self funding students

We are happy to take self funded PhD students from all medical, nursing and AHP backgrounds, as long as they meet the University of Glasgow entry requirements.
