Clinical Research Fellow in Diabetes

2 weeks ago


Sheffield, United Kingdom University of Sheffield Full time

This is an exciting opportunity to join a diabetes research group with an international reputation for excellence in hypoglycaemia research. You will work as a Clinical Research Fellow with Professor Simon Heller and Dr Ahmed Iqbal on a randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed at elucidating the heterogeneity of impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia in type 1 diabetes. This study is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which is a major U.S federal government research agency. The RCT will involve state-of-the-art innovations in diabetes care including hybrid closed loop systems and educational interventions. You will work collaboratively with an international consortium of trial centres in the USA, UK and Australia. This RCT will be the largest study to date on physiological responses to hypoglycaemia and how impaired responses in type 1 diabetes can be improved. It is therefore anticipated, that the trial will lead to a number of clinically relevant discoveries that you will be involved in and a number of key outcomes you will lead on. It is also anticipated that the research work undertaken will contribute to an MD or PhD degree and the appointee will be required to register to undertake this.

This post is suited to a specialty trainee in Diabetes and Endocrinology (ST4 or above). You must be registered with the GMC with a licence to practice and possess the full MRCP (UK) or its equivalent. Some research experience, for example, an intercalated BSc or BMedSci is desirable, however, all relevant clinical and research training will be provided. We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual with a real desire to help advance type 1 diabetes care through research and innovation.
