Summary
A Vacancy at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Applications are invited for three Clinical Research Fellow posts in Neurosurgery. These posts would be ideally suited to anyone with an interest in surgical technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, neurotechnology and simulation. They would be suitable for Trust SHO’s or trainees, and the posts will commence in August 2025 for one year.
Clinical work will be carried out at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), an internationally renowned hospital for clinical practice and world-class clinical research in neurosciences.

The post holders will work as a trust grade SHO working on a split pattern of clinical and research duties (80:20).
