Senior Clinical Academic Positions
Senior clinical academic positions are a next step after a clinical lectureship.
Senior Positions
When you have conducted some post-doctoral research and completed your specialist training, you will be able to apply for positions such as senior clinical lectureships and clinician scientist posts. Senior clinical lecturer posts give you honorary consultant status whilst you follow your chosen line of research.

- Medical Research Council (MRC)
