Research fellowship (AAGBI/Anaesthesia)

Conditions and Information

One award to be made

Purpose of the Fellowship

The Fellowship provides a salary to enable a trainee anaesthetist to spend a period of no longer than two years carrying out research. Applications should be submitted by departments or institutions (with a named supervisor) for a well defined programme of work by a named individual leading towards a PhD or MD degree. In addition, details of research training during the fellowship should be described.

Salary

The salary will be at the appropriate point on the NHS scale. The costs of the trainees basic salary, including National Insurance and superannuation will be met.

Running costs

From 2010 applicants will also be able to apply for up to £10,000 per annum (£20,000 in total) to cover running costs. Requests will need to be fully justified and applicants are advised that assessors will be asked to comment on the costing of the application. AAGBI/Anaesthesia decline to cover requests for attendance at scientific meetings.

Type of work to be supported The Fellowship may be for clinical or non-clinical research. There would be no objection to a local arrangement to enable the Fellow to undertake a moderate amount of clinical work including emergency service. This should however, not exceed the equivalent of two clinical sessions a week. Such clinical work must not interfere with the conduct of the research.

Requirements for the department The department should be equipped adequately to accommodate the Research Fellow and to allow the work specified in the proposal to be performed. Evidence should be provided to show that the work will lead to a PhD or MD.
