Research Training

**Higher Degrees**
Clinical Research Fellows will usually undertake study towards a higher degree in the University of Glasgow. In the first instance the university usually requires this to be an MSc where funding beyond one year is uncertain or until assessment of progress during year one justifies transfer to a PhD programme (without delaying final submission). In addition to an academic supervisor, all postgraduate students will have an independent adviser. Either the adviser or supervisor must be a member of full-time University academic staff.
-Funding Sources
Research Training Base
The Clinical Research Fellow will be based in the School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Health (SCMH) of the University of Glasgow.
Research Supervision
Details of the institute and its supervisorial pool can be found at University of Glasgow - Schools - School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health - About us
Teaching
There will be no regular commitment to teaching but research fellows are encouraged to contribute to both problem-based learning and clinical teaching sessions for undergraduate medical students when research commitments allow.
Assessment of Progress
Future
Research fellows will either return to run-through NHS training, or may become eligible for an academic training post.
