Job Description
Overview of the Role
Are you medically qualified and ambitious with an interest in research and Osteoarthritis? Do you have experience of working in Orthopaedics? Do you want to further your career by undertaking a PhD in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?
You will support and undertake research in “return to driving post knee arthroplasty”. This role is based in elective orthopaedics. Your research will focus on the mechanistic and translational element i.e. developing and validating quantifiable variables which can predict when a patient can return to driving a car after his/her knee operation. You will lead your own studies in this area, including methods development and clinical studies and contribute to the work of the research group as a whole.
During your employment you will also work towards a PhD at the University of Leeds. This is an exciting opportunity if you are a Trauma and Orthopaedics trainee, especially if you are aiming to sub specialise in limb reconstruction or pursue an academic career. You will be medically qualified with MRCS or equivalent and full GMC registration.
You will report to Professor Hemant Pandit, Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Director of Research and Innovation, LIRMM, University of Leeds.
