SCOTTISH SENIOR CLINICAL FELLOWSHIP SCHEME
Applications are invited from outstanding early career clinical academics, medical and dental, for four-year tenure track senior research fellowships to be held in one of the five Scottish universities with Medical or Dental Schools.
Funded by a partnership between the Scottish Funding Council and the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and St. Andrews, the scheme represents the post-CCT element of the Scottish Clinical Research Excellence Development Scheme, Scotland’s distinctive response to the Walport Report. The Academy of Medical Sciences will partner the stakeholders, assisting an international selection panel with peer review and providing independent mentorship to those appointed.
The scheme provides an attractive research-focused entry point to a permanent clinical academic career in one of five excellent research environments, each of which offers distinctive strengths and opportunities described in the further particulars.
