Arthritis Research UK (ARC) is pleased to announce a new call for educational research fellowships. These fellowships are open to doctors (usually at specialty training level in rheumatology, orthopaedics or general practice), nurses, allied health professionals and educationalists. They provide an opportunity for training and research in an educational project relevant to arthritis and related musculoskeletal diseases.

Fellowships will usually be awarded for one, two or three years (full- or part-time equivalent) and, where appropriate, successful candidates will be required to register for a higher degree (MD, MSc, PhD or equivalent). Salaries will be according to age and experience on the appropriate clinical or scientific scale. Reasonable running costs are also included. The total budget available for this call is £150,000.

Fellows will be attached to a UK-based academic department with appropriate clinical or educational expertise and are expected to have two supervisors (academic and educational), one of whom may be external.

Further information is available from the ARC website on the Educational Research Fellowships webpage or from the Education Department on telephone: 01246 541 136 or email: d.lakin@arthritisresearchuk.org.
 
The deadline for applications is Wednesday, 9 January 2013.
