Academic Recruitment
We pride ourselves that our academic training programmes are flexible. This allows us to deliver a balance between research and clinical training that is tailored to your individual needs.
We have clinical academic training opportunities at several levels, offered in partnership with Newcastle University, with its ratings of national and international excellence in many areas of research. Our academic foundation programme is unique in having one third of the two-year programme dedicated to research. Our academic clinical fellowship (ACF) programme has one of the highest success rates in the country for securing external PhD training fellowships and we also have a good track record of our NIHR Clinical Lecturers being appointed to senior academic positions.
Whilst we have a requirement to ensure service provision across our training programmes, we continue to be one of the foremost regions in supporting trainees who wish to undertake out of programme research.
Five reasons to choose us:
1 Our high-quality research environment
2 A supportive team who really care about you and your career
3 Flexibility and balance when it comes to organising your research
4 Keen and enthusiastic clinical academics who want you to come and work with them
5 Great lifestyle and wonderful opportunities in the region
