Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust invites candidates to apply for this new, fully funded, research fellow post. The appointment is to start in October 2017 for a year and extendable if needed.

The post available is located at Charing Cross Hospital.

The post holder will have opportunities to further their research knowledge and skills through working within the unit and by having access to Imperial College Academic Facilities. There are opportunities to register for a postgraduate degree at Imperial College London with discounted tuition fees. The post holder can expect to publish a minimum of two peer-reviewed articles per year and to present findings of their research in National and International symposia.

The post is to commence as soon as possible and is suitable for those who want to improve their portfolio to get better scores at Core or Specialist Training selection without being penalised for being over-experienced in ENT. The post attracts full pay at Core Training level and the holder will take part in the on-call rota, which is reflected by pay band supplement. The supplement is currently set at 1B but is subject to an increase based on hours worked.

The ENT Department at Imperial has a worldwide reputation for excellence and innovation and a track record of publications and presentations. The department has 18 consultants and sees nearly 12,000 new outpatients a year at the two main sites. In addition to routine ENT, all consultants have subspecialist skills. Several members of the team are recognised as international experts in their field. As a result patients are referred from all over the UK and other countries worldwide.

Imperial is the Regional Head and Neck Cancer Centre, the Regional Thyroid Cancer Centre, the Supra-Regional Skull Base Surgery Centre and the National Centre For Adult Airway Reconstruction. Tertiary referrals are also received for complex otology and rhinology. The department is currently based on 2 sites, St Mary’s Hospital and Charing Cross Hospital. The Toynbee Club weekly teaching session is provided for trainees, and audit and research are encouraged.

The successful applicants will be expected to have a special interest in Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery, with a minimum of 6 months post registration experience and be fully registered with the General Medical Council. The candidate is also expected to have basic understanding of research principles, involvement in audit is essential and previous research experience is highly desirable.
