University offices: Vacancies

The University follows an equal opportunities policy and has a policy on arrangements for part-time work.

Applications are invited for the following University offices:

University Lecturer in the Department of Radiology

University Lecturer in the Department of Radiology (Nuclear Medicine or Radionuclide Radiology) to take up appointment from 1 January 1999, or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful applicant, who will be recommended for an honorary consultant contract with the Addenbrooke's NHS Trust, will be required to undertake teaching, research, and clinical work. The appointment will be for five years, with the possibility of reappointment to the retiring age.

The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Lecturer is £20,107 a year rising by eleven annual increments to £31,010 a year. There is no grade of Senior Lecturer. The successful candidate will be eligible to receive an additional payment for clinical responsibility related to the amount of clinical work undertaken. If, as expected, the Lecturer undertakes the equivalent of six or more NHS sessions a week of clinical work the payment will be such as to bring his or her total pensionable emoluments into line with a point on the NHS salary scale for consultants (£44,780-£57,800; £45,740-£59,040 from 1 December 1998).
