Clinical Lecturer / Clinical Senior Lecturer (Horne Advanced Fellowship)

About the Role

The Clinical Lecturer / Clinical Senior Lecturer* will contribute to the intellectual life of the Institute and wider institution. Depending on stage and level, the postholder would be expected to develop a programme of multiple sclerosis research, focusing on social determinants of health. This could include gender-specific factors, and/or factors related to other social determinants including deprivation, ethnicity, education, and social circumstances. They will be expected to submit a clear research proposal to cover at least the first three years of the fellowship and apply for additional research funding to grow this programme of research over the period of the fellowship. The aim is to enable those at the early stages of their research career to grow as independent researcher.

The clinical part of the role is not funded within this post, but it is essential that the appointee holds a clinical post alongside the academic work of at least 0.2 FTE.
