Clinical Lecturer in Surgery

The School of Cancer Sciences is seeking to appoint a Clinical Lecturer in Surgery. This is a fixed term (up to 6 years or up until six months after obtaining CCT, whichever is soonest).

You will hold the intercollegiate MRCS qualification or equivalent and will have completed general professional training and have obtained a National Training Number in Surgery. It is expected that you will already hold a higher research degree (MD/ PhD), but in exceptional circumstances you may be appointed without this qualification, although progression would be dependent upon successfully completing this qualification in the first years of the post.

The successful candidate will be appointed at the appropriate level of Specialty Trainee and will enter the West of Scotland Higher Training Programme in August 2025. The post will be based within the School of Cancer Sciences in the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS) of the University of Glasgow.  Whilst clinical training will be a major focus of the Lectureship in order to ensure the appointee can successfully complete their certificate of completion of training (CCT), this post will also provide an exceptional opportunity for combined academic training.

The primary purpose of the role will be on General Surgery with a specialist interest in Colorectal surgery, with potential to develop subspeciality expertise in surgical oncology.  It is anticipated that clinical training will take place within the main University hospital sites – predominantly at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and Glasgow Royal Infirmary. However, as required for training, there are opportunities to pursue a period of clinical training in other West of Scotland Centres.

For this Lectureship, the School are particularly keen to develop further capacity in our areas of Internationally recognised research excellence, for example research aligned with College strategy building on existing colorectal cancer research.  This includes research on early detection and premalignant disease, development, building capacity for integrated spatial biology research in GI cancers and rectal cancer radiotherapy research. However, applicants who have other research interests that are aligned with College and School strategy are still encouraged to apply.
