Four or Five Academic Fellowships are available that offer unique opportunities for training in academic aspects of general practice, and are ideal for GPs at an early stage of career development contemplating an academic career.

During the one year post successful applicants will gain new skill and develop their research ideas into a formal research proposal. They will also be expected to retain a minimal clinical commitment. Four or five posts (4.0 wte) are available in total. The duration of the posts are 12 months and will run from the 1 August 2012 until 31 July 2013. The posts may be held in the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow or St Andrews (full time or part-time). The recruitment process is being coordinated by the Scottish School of Primary Care (SSPC), a consortium of eight Higher Education Institutions managed from offices in the Division of Population Health Sciences at the University of Dundee. Applicants may apply for posts in any or all of the five participating universities but should state their order of preference if more than one university would be considered. The candidate’s preference for full or part time hours will also be considered. Interviews will be held April 2012 at the Scottish School of Primary Care centre at the University of Dundee.
