Duration: Up to 3 Years
Interview date: 1st July 2019 @ Plymouth University
Closing date for applications: 12/06/2019 - 10am
Peninsula Dental School is seeking talented, enthusiastic dentists who are dedicated to developing a clinical academic career. These posts provide a unique opportunity for dentists with curiosity, intelligence and commitment. The ideal candidate(s) will have a strong record of academic achievement, ideally with some research experience (although not essential) and will be committed to applying for external fellowship funding for a PhD. The successful applicant(s) will be supported and trained to prepare their fellowship application.
These National Institute for Health Research Academic Clinical Fellow (NIHR ACF) posts will be split between 75% clinical development and 25% research, for up to 3 years. The clinical component will be based in Livewell Southwest, will typically equate to a Dental Core Trainee post, and be tailored to prepare the post holder for subsequent specialist training if desired. Salary £36,461 to £46,208 (dependent upon experience).
Applicants must be fully GDC registered, hold BDS or equivalent and committed to developing an academic career.
Applications must be made via the Oriel Recruitment Portal.
Applicants should note that all training programmes are equally open to those who may, either from the outset or subsequently, wish to train less than full time.
If your employment is subject to immigration control, you should visit the HEE website for Specialty Training for information about how this will affect your application. In some cases applications will not be considered, or only once the resident labour market test can be satisfied.
Tips for submitting an application:
• On completion save and re-open the application and then check prior to pressing the submit button. This will allow you time to review your completed application and check for any discrepancies.
• Submit your application no later than 30 minutes before the deadline as there is a strict policy that applications cannot be accepted after the deadline.
• If you are in the process of completing an application at the point of closure a warning message will appear and you will not be able to submit the application or retrieve any of the data input.
