Description
Applications are invited for three Clinical Research Fellow posts in Neurosurgery.


These posts would be ideally suited to anyone with an interest in neurosurgery in technologies such as brain computer interfaces, robotics, artificial intelligence, and simulation.


They would be suitable for Trust SHO's or trainees, and the posts will commence in August 2023 for one year.


The Fellows will also have the opportunity to gain extensive experience of applied translational research in one of several areas, depending on their preference, including: pituitary and skull base surgery; neuro-oncology; vascular surgery; and spinal surgery.


The post holders will work as a trust grade SHO working on a split pattern of clinical and research duties (80:20).

The clinical duties will include ward rounds and inpatient care as well as after hours on call duties. Although this is not an official training role, we believe training is important.


This includes:

  • Weekly seminars by consultant speakers from within Queen Square;
  • Monthly Brain School by invited consultant speakers from across London;
  • Annual Victor Horsley lecture by prominent neurosurgeons from across the world;
  • Priority access to the Queen Square Neurosurgical Review course, featuring an international faculty of more than 35 speakers;
  • Specialty Research Group meetings, including vascular, hydrocephalus, functional, and pituitary meetings, that have resulted in numerous presentations and publications;
  • Access to the Medtronic drilling course.


The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) is an internationally renowned hospital for clinical practice and world-class clinical research in neurosciences.


It is also closely associated with the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology (IoN), Wellcome/EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences (WEISS), and the Francis Crick Institute.

Together, the NHNN, WEISS, and Francis Crick Institute provide an unparalleled opportunity for innovation in neurosurgery.

We are dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of many complex illnesses. UCLH specialises in women's health and the treatment of cancer, infection, neurological, gastrointestinal, and oral disease. It has world class support services including critical care, imaging, nuclear medicine, and pathology.


At UCLH, we have a real 'One Team' ethos, and our values - safety, kindness, teamwork and improving, are central to the way we work.

This is supported by our staff, who voted us as the #1 NHS Trust to work for in the whole of England.
