5. NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowships/Clinical Lectureships
6 extra ACF posts are available in cross-disciplinary ‘research themes’ to which candidates from a restricted selection of specialties may apply
‘Themed posts’ are advertised separately, and the application form itself may appear on a different specialty page within Oriel from the specialty you are applying for
Themed posts aim to achieve the same outcome, i.e., a research training fellowship, however the proposed research will be restricted to that of the research theme. Candidates would remain of course as a clinical trainee within their host specialty.
Interviews for themed ACF posts will be undertaken by research theme, and the best candidates appointed regardless of clinical specialty. You may therefore want to apply for more than one ACF post if available in a given clinical specialty, and may therefore need to attend more than one interview.  Clinical interviews will be completely separate!
