Medical Research Fellow in Nephrology (fixed term) (MED362018)

Applications are invited for a clinical research fellow post based at the Centre for Kidney Research and Innovation (CKRI), University of Nottingham. The CKRI sits within the Division of Graduate Entry Medicine (School of Medicine) and is allied to the Department of Renal Medicine on the Royal Derby Hospital campus. The group, led by Professor Maarten Taal and Dr Nick Selby, is one of the UK’s most successful and progressive nephrology research teams. 

The successful candidate will be responsible for day-to-day conduct of clinical research studies involving the clinical application of novel MRI imaging in kidney disease and haemodialysis. The posts will provide excellent training in all aspects of clinical research as well as high quality research supervision. You will work as part of a supportive and dynamic team. Specific responsibilities will include participation in study design, obtaining appropriate study permissions, patient recruitment and data collection, analysis and conference presentations. Those who wish to work towards a higher degree (PhD or MD) will be supported to do so.

This post is suitable for doctors with an interest in research, including but not restricted to those planning to pursue a career in nephrology. An honorary contract with Derby Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will be arranged so an applicant’s success will be contingent on the post holder having a license to practice from the General Medical Council. Candidates must have completed core medical training or equivalent. The posts will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 12 months in the first instance, with the possibility to extend this period as appropriate. There will be the opportunity to participate in the renal middle grade on-call rota. 

This is a full time, 38.50 hours per week (or part time, minimum 0.6FTE), fixed term post from 01 August 2019 until 31 July 2020.
