For 2012/2013 Awards

2011 and 2012 Academic Recruitment
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully
Please note that London Deanery is recruiting to both 2011 and 2012 NIHR academic awards during the 17 October-14 November 2011 application window. Where vacancies exist in the same specialty as part of the 2011 and 2012 awards, a different person specification exists for each of the years. Due to differences between the 2011 and 2012 person specifications, separate application forms and scoring criteria are required. Consequently, applicants wishing to apply to 2011 and 2012 recruitments in the same specialty will need to complete two different application forms.
As 2011 and 2012 recruitments require different application forms, our online recruitment system now consists of two separate sites, providing 2011 and 2012 application forms, respectively.
For 2011 application forms, please visit the 2011 online portal
For 2012 application forms, please visit the 2012 online portal
Please be aware that if you are not already registered on either of these sites, you will have to do so in order to be able to commence an application form.
Please note all Academic awards recruiting in the 17 October-14 November 2011 application window are listed in the table below, with the year of the recruitment clearly indicated.
Applicants will not be able to access the relevant application form until applications have opened on Monday 17 October 2011. It is anticipated applications will open in the late afternoon.

All ACF awards advertised have a starting location in a London training unit. However, please note that future programme placements may rotate into Kent, Surrey and Sussex or Essex and Hertfordshire.
London and KSS deaneries and the London and East of England deaneries are currently reviewing training programmes that include placements in Local Education Providers in London/KSS or London/East of England. Trainees in these programmes are currently managed by the London Deanery. The review may result in some changes to the rotation details for these programmes and may also result in the management of the training being moved from London to either the KSS Deanery or the East of England Deanery.
ACF programmes are for a standard duration of three years, but may vary depending on individual circumstance. Subject to satisfactory progression, clinical training may continue beyond the 3 years of ACF training, depending on the starting level / year of entry and individual circumstance.

Types of Integrated Academic Training
IAT programmes aim to provide an explicit academic training pathway during specialist training that is designed to integrate the development of academic skills with each of the key stages of a clinician's career. They are facilitated by awards made through a competitive process, in strong host environments through educational partnerships between Universities, local NHS Trusts (including Primary Care Trusts) and Postgraduate Deaneries.
There are two academic training phases designed to fit explicitly within the run-through training grades, namely:
• Academic Clinical Fellowships (ACFs)
• Academic Clinical Lectureships (ACLs)
These phases are designed to provide a training continuum for those seeking to develop a career as a clinical academic in research and/or education, leading to the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).
Further details about the different types of training available, eligibility requirements and entry/exit points can be obtained via NIHR Co-ordinating centre for research capacity development
Integrated Academic Training in London
Awards have been made by the NIHR to educational partnerships in London involving the Deanery, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Trusts/Training programmes.

- Imperial College
- Institute of Cancer Research
