Educational research fellowships (Education strategy committee)

Educational research fellowships are open to clinicians (usually at specialty training level in rheumatology or general practice) and non-clinicians (including nurses, allied health professionals and educationalists).

They aim to provide an opportunity for training in educational research methodology and/or medical education in a project relevant to arthritis and related musculoskeletal diseases.

Fellowships will normally be awarded for 2 or 3 years (full or part-time equivalent) and candidates will be expected to register for a higher degree (MD, MSc or PhD). Salaries will be according to age and experience on the appropriate clinical or scientific salary scale.

Fellows will be attached to a UK based clinical department or a department of general practice and are expected to have two supervisors (academic and educational), one of whom may be external.

These fellowships, which are not renewable, are usually advertised once a year and shortlisted candidates will be invited for interview.

Please note: The timetable for educational research fellowships is currently under review. Please email Nick Eyley on n.eyley@arthritisresearchuk.org for more information.
