RCR invites applications for Roentgen Professorship

The U.K. Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) is inviting members and fellows of its clinical radiology faculty to apply for a professorship funded by the publishers of Clinical Radiology.

The Roentgen Professorship is open to clinical radiologists who hold either a National Health Service (NHS) consultant post or an academic radiology appointment below the grade of professor in the U.K. In spring of 2015, the Roentgen Professor will visit at least five U.K. training sites to encourage research in clinical radiology, giving tutorials and a lecture during each visit. Funding of up to 3,000 pounds (3,612 euros) will be available to cover the appointee's costs, the RCR said.

As well, the Roentgen Professor may be asked to provide advice and guidance on research issues to the publishers of Clinical Radiology, which could involve attendance at up to two meetings during 2015.

Applications should include a full curriculum vitae, a description of the applicant's research record, and a description of why the applicant would be suitable for appointment to the post. Applications should be sent by email only to Cilla Heath, RCR's education administrator, no later than 11 April.
