Academic Clinical Lecturers<\/h1>\n
Academic Clinical Lecturers (ACLs) combine teaching and research responsibilities with a position practicing in their specialist field.<\/p>\n
Our Clinical Lectureships offer postdoctoral support for a clinician having recently completed a higher degree (PhD, MD or equivalent) and currently holding a National Training Number (NTN).<\/p>\n
Trainee Academic Clinical Lecturers will join a large and vibrant programme of junior clinical academics at The University of Manchester.<\/p>\n

Those interest in applying for these are strong encouraged to submit\u00a0an expression of interest<\/a>.<\/p>\n Those with an interest in applying to Manchester are strongly encouraged to consult with the\u00a0relevant Academic Programme Lead<\/a> before applying. Arranging an informal discussion with the ACL Programme Lead, Dr John Blaikley (john.blaikley@manchester.ac.uk<\/a>)\u00a0is also strongly recommended.<\/p>\n Health Education\/University of Manchester ACL posts are advertised shortly after the NIHR\u2019s national advert. Application forms will be available to complete online using the\u00a0University\u2019s job site<\/a>.<\/p>\n Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed by a panel of clinicians and academics in line with NIHR guidance.<\/p>\n The process takes place three times a year to provide flexibility to potential candidates.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion admin_label=”Accordion: How to apply” _builder_version=”3.17.6″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Key application dates” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.17.6″]<\/p>\n The Faculty of Biology, Medicine & Health (FBMH) is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) for appointment to the Academic Clinical Lecturer (ACL) programme at the University of Manchester. These prestigious posts offer an excellent opportunity for post-doctoral clinical academics to continue research development alongside completion of clinical training by providing dedicated time for academic training. It is expected that at the end of this post an external fellowship application has been submitted.<\/p>\n We are keen to hear from potential applicants who meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n ACLs may be appointed for a maximum of 4-years from any clinical specialty where appropriate academic and clinical supervision can be assured. Support from your proposed academic supervisor is required.<\/p>\n If posts are available then they are normally advertised three times a year (May, October and January), exact dates can be obtained from the IAT administration team:\u00a0icatadmin@manchester.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n A key component of these posts is that 50% of the salary must be provided by a Health and Care Provider to support the ACL\u2019s clinical training. Securing this funding can take time, therefore we are inviting expressions of interest early to allow these discussions to begin as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n Candidates will still have to apply for ACL posts in open competition and there is no guarantee that we will be able to fund all applicants.<\/p>\n If you would like to discuss this opportunity further, please contact Dr. John Blaikley
