We are looking for a highly motivated person with a keen interest in Endocrinology and Metabolic Medicine, who has completed basic general medical training after graduation from Medical School. We offer a 3-year Academic Clinical Fellowship (ACF) in Endocrinology and Metabolic Medicine (ST3 level, starting in August 2017).

The post has components dedicated to research activity (25%, 3 months per year), as well as to clinical training (75%) and is associated with the Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research (IMSR; www.birmingham.ac.uk/IMSR) at the University of Birmingham. The IMSR comprises a multi-disciplinary research environment focusing on highly innovative translational research in collaboration between clinician scientists, molecular and cell biologists, biochemists, mass spectrometrists, and computational scientists. The endocrine and metabolic research is translated into health through the Birmingham Health Partners Centre for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (CEDAM), in close collaboration between the University and the affiliated Trusts (University Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham Children’s and Birmingham Women’s Hospital NHS Foundation Trust). The protected research component will build up to a competitive research training fellowship application to undertake a 3-year PhD.
