Clinical academic opportunities post-higher degree include Clinical lectureship positions, National Clinician Scientist Award and Intermediate and Senior Clinical Research Fellowships.
Some posts such as clinical Lectureship positions are aimed at clinicians that are still within their speciality training, however others are for more senior clinicians at consultant level.
Broadly Clinical Lectureships allow the post holder to pursue their clinical and academic careers in conjunction with one another, whereas Post-Doctoral Fellowships allow the post holder to devote a greater percentage of their time to research.
Clinical lectureships

UoB currently receives at least four NIHR funded Clinical Lectureships annually. In addition UoB also has approximately 25 Clinical Lectureship posts at any one time in a number of different disciplines funded from several sources.
