Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Clinical Research Fellows to join our Renal Medicine team, undertaking research alongside clinical training. The fellows will be based in the Trusts’s Donal O’Donoghue Renal Research Centre (DRRC).

20% of the post-holder’s time will be spent on clinical training within the renal team (possibility of participating in the renal SpR on call rota (1 in 7)). 80% of time will be dedicated to research, undertaking projects to enable the completion of an MD or PhD at the University of Manchester.

Within the time allocated for research there will be opportunity to gain experience in clinical trial activity.

One post holder will focus on research in the hepato-renal axis which will eventually contribute to development of a hepato-renal service

The 2nd postholder will focus on health inequalities in chronic kidney disease. They will collaborate with public health and cardiology academics to investigate the intersection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with social determinants of health and multiple long-term conditions (LTCs).

Salary will be in the range of ST3 to ST7, depending on relevant experience, training and qualifications. Posts will be for 24 months in the first instance, with a target start date in the autumn 2025 (or early 2026).

We are open to informal visits. Enquiries can be made by contacting Keeley Tannahill ([email protected]), PA to Professor Kalra, Director of the DRRC.

Clinical training opportunities in inpatient and outpatient renal medicine (0.2 wte) with the possibility of participating in the renal SpR on call rota (1 in 7), depending on stage of training.
