We are looking to appoint a Clinical Trials Research Fellow in IBD at Queen Mary University of London and The Royal London Hospital.

This has been endorsed as an IBD clinical fellow post by the BSG.

About You
We are looking for a highly motivated doctor with an interest in pursuing a career in gastroenterology with a focus in IBD. The post would suit a current SpR or IMT wanting out of programme experience in managing complex IBD and the conduct of interventional clinical trials. During the year you would also have the opportunity to undertake additional training which could include IBD endoscopy, intestinal ultrasound or undertaking preliminary research to support a subsequent grant application to study for a higher degree. If you are currently working overseas with a non-UK medical degree, you would need to register and have a licence to practice with the General Medical Council prior to starting the post. The post requires excellent organisation and time management skills as well as the ability to work collaboratively as part of the MDT.
