Post CCT Fellow in Gastrointestinal Radiology (ST6+)

Job overview

We are delighted to be able to offer an opportunity for a highly motivated, ambitious individual to join our well integrated team.

The successful candidate would be expected to develop a specialist interest in Diagnostic Neuroradiology (DNR) and integrate into our large tertiary referral neuroradiology unit including a team of 9 consultant diagnostic neuroradiologists, and 5 consultant interventional neuroradiologists. The post would entail extensive structured and supported exposure to predominately diagnostic cross sectional imaging techniques although CT and fluoroscopic interventional procedures would be included, including nerve root and medial branch blocks, myelograms/lumbar punctures, and disc biopsies routinely, with scope to develop beyond this as dictated by interest (for example, our center is recognised nationally and internationally for radiologically guided CSF leak diagnosis and treatment).

Previous exposure to diagnostic neuroradiology at the higher training level would be an advantage but is not essential.

In addition to the challenges of the role, we can offer you a commitment to teaching, education, research and audit.
