Together we can do great things. Be part of something bigger.

With roles from hospitality to research, there’s a career for everyone at the University of Edinburgh. We can offer opportunities for you to develop in your career and make a real difference in the communities around us while contributing to the world at large. 

The University of Edinburgh is a world-class organisation. We look for the best in the field across all disciplines and provide a working environment where academics can develop their careers and passion for their chosen subject area. We offer the full range of academic roles and have a genuine focus on our students performance and wellbeing.

This is an exciting opportunity for a full-time Clinical Research Fellow to support academic-led clinical research at the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic for 1 year. The Anne Rowling Clinic is a unique world-class care-research partnership between the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian. 

The post-holder will be part of a multi-disciplinary team and be responsible for the delivery of direct and indirect care and associated data collection for concurrent research studies undertaken in the Clinic. 

This one-year opportunity is open to motivated individuals who are qualified in medicine and have completed Foundation Training, or are engaged in specialty training in any field related to clinical neurosciences.

The post provides considerable opportunities for training including mentorship and exposure to observational and interventional clinical research studies, disease-specific registries, and specialist NHS clinics in neurology.

This post has proven to be a highly effective springboard for higher research degrees and clinical training positions in neuroscience-related specialties. Post-holders will also be offered opportunities to undertake training in a range of transferable skills, including, for example, leadership, management, audit, quality improvement and public engagement. Fellows are expected to lead on personal projects, giving presentations at professional meetings and co-writing scientific publications. 

This post is full-time (40 hours per week) and is expected to start in August 2026. The post is based on-site at Edinburgh BioQuarter.

Salary will be determined on the basis of previous service in the NHS training grades. Normally you will be matched to your current incremental point or nearest equivalent, exclusive of clinical banding or other supplements. 

Some of the skills that would support you in this post would be, analytical skills, strong communication skills, ability to organise and prioritise your work while managing tight deadlines. You will be clinically qualified with MBBS (or equivalent) with current GMC registration and previous clinical research experience is an advantage.
