The post will have a strong research commitment in mental health disorders research. You will develop your research and academic skills, selecting a research supervisor and research project around your interests in General Adult Psychiatry and undertake research. You will become a member of the well-developed Clinical Academic Training Programme in the School of Medicine, University of Nottingham (www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/catp). The programme provides support in clinical academic training, with research funding applications, networking and mentorship. 

This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 4 years or until award of Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT), whichever is the shorter. Hours of work are full time (40 hours) or part time (minimum 0.6FTE).

This post is intended for applicants already having received doctoral level training and have been awarded a PhD/MD by research as well as to those who wish to undertake research and research training, register /maintain registration for and complete a PhD at the University of Nottingham.

You would be expected to develop plans for a post-doctoral or clinician scientist award which may shorten the lectureship. The post does not attract its own National Training Number (NTN) but existing NTN holders with more than one year (full-time equivalent) to CCT and who have already been awarded a PhD/MD by research may be eligible for the award of an NTN(A). This should be discussed with the Directors of the Clinical Academic Training Programme (www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/catp). 

Applicants without a PhD/ MD by research will be expected to register/maintain registration at the University of Nottingham for, and undertake, supervised research towards a PhD at the University of Nottingham. As a Clinical Assistant Professor without a PhD, you will select a research supervisor from available research areas in the Institute of Mental Health, develop your research and academic skills, and a research project around your interests in General Adult Psychiatry, undertake research and register/maintain registration at the University of Nottingham for a PhD. You will be expected to apply for funding for your doctoral fees which are not included in the Lectureship.

An individualised clinical and academic training programme will be designed for you, taking into account your clinical experience and any previous research to determine your research and clinical training needs.
