Informal enquiries by e-mail are welcome and further information can be found on the departmental website at http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/.

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, subject to satisfactory performance.
The successful candidate will be eligible to receive an additional payment for clinical responsibility related to the amount of NHS 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 (£52,640 - £68,505).
Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to contact Professor A. K. Dixon (e-mail akd15@radiol.cam.ac.uk).

The post-holder will have a detailed knowledge of electron optics, vacuum systems, etc., a background in physical science, and will be an expert user of electron microscopes and their analytical attachments.
