The Opportunity:

We have an exciting opportunity for a trainee psychiatrist to join our research group as a clinical research fellow. This 3.5 year post is part a major Wellcome-funded project entitled “AMBIENT-BD: Using sleep and circadian rhythms data to understand trajectories and clinical outcomes in bipolar disorder.” (PI Daniel Smith). This position will be of interest to those interested in an academic career and there will be an opportunity to complete a full-time research doctorate (MD or PhD). There is a generous budget for training and conference attendance. The post is full-time but we are open to part-time or flexible working patterns. 

The postholder will play a key role in the recruitment and clinical assessment of participants in the AMBIENT-BD study (www.ambientbd.com), including individuals with bipolar disorder. They will support the collection of data on past psychiatric history, medication status, family history, current mood and radar-data on sleep and rest/activity rhythms.

Your skills and attributes for success: 

  • Strong commitment to working in clinical research
  • Ability to work as part of a large multidisciplinary team
  • Excellent analytical and writing skills
  • Strong planning and organisational skills
  • Excellent communication skills

As part of this application you will be required to submit a one page document outlining how you meet the essential criteria, as outlined on the job description.

An Honorary NHS contract will be sought for the successful post holder. You therefore must be eligible to hold an honorary contract with NHS Lothian, and must also be registered with the General Medical Council.

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. If you are currently a member of the NHS Pension Scheme and are employed in a clinical post it may be possible for you to remain a member of the NHS Pension Scheme.
