Applications are invited for two posts in the Urology department at the Royal Devon and Exeter Foundation NHS Trust. One post will be a Clinical Research Fellow post and one Clinical Fellow post. The posts will commence in August 2026.
The posts would suit candidates with the MRCS (or equivalent) and at least 6 months urological experience who wish to obtain further urology registrar level experience prior to national selection for an ST3 post. The posts will enable the candidate to improve their portfolio in preparation for a urology national training number (NTN).
The appointments are full-time but less than full time working would be considered.
Whilst there will be opportunity to gain theatre experience, the research post would be best suited to a candidate with an interest in audit, quality improvement and research in preparation for application for a urology national training number (NTN). We are currently recruiting to several national research trials and the successful candidate would be encouraged to take part in this. There has been an excellent success rate for trainees gaining a training number applying from this post.
