About the role

We are seeking an ambitious clinical academic to join the University of Leicester as a 2026 NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Multiple Long-Term Conditions – General Practice.

This exciting opportunity will enable you to combine clinical practice as a General Practitioner with the development of an independent academic career. You will spend 50% of your time undertaking academic research and teaching and 50% undertaking clinical work, with flexibility in how these commitments are arranged. The programme is designed to support your development towards becoming an independent principal investigator, securing external research funding and competing successfully for a future senior academic position

Your research will align with the College's work in Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTCs). Opportunities include research into lifestyle and behavioural interventions, disease self-management, health inequalities, use of national data, wearable technologies and innovative approaches to integrating primary, secondary and community care. You will have the opportunity to develop your own research area in collaboration with academic and research supervisors within the School of Medicine.

You will also contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and maintain an active clinical role in General Practice.

About you

You will be a highly motivated GP with excellent potential to develop as an independent clinical academic. You will hold a medical degree and appropriate GMC registration and licence to practise, together with MRCGP or equivalent. You should have completed specialist training in General Practice and be on the GMC GP Register, although exceptional candidates who will complete this by 31 August 2027 may be considered

You will hold, or have submitted, a PhD, MD or equivalent higher degree relevant to the post, with the qualification fully awarded before 31 August 2027. You will bring a coherent and feasible research plan, evidence of peer-reviewed publications, teaching experience and a clear commitment to developing an academic career.

You will be able to demonstrate how your research interests complement the research strengths of the College and show the potential to develop scientific independence and leadership within your chosen field. Strong communication, collaboration and organisational skills will be essential, alongside the motivation and self-discipline required to balance clinical, research and teaching responsibilities
