Applications are invited for appointments as an NIHR Academy Academic Clinical Fellow (ACF) on the Specialty Training Programme in General Psychiatry at King’s College London. Four posts are available, plus one Mental Health Theme post in Translational Psychiatry, at ST1-3.

The ACF research component will be based at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London. The IoPPN has a strong track record of supporting academic trainees. Close ties with the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) clinical training program enable us to accommodate one of the largest academic psychiatry training cohort’s in England. We offer one of the broadest ranges of training opportunities in clinical and academic psychiatry in the UK.

The Division of Academic Psychiatry has a faculty of more than 100 Principal Investigators all of whom are potential supervisors. Over the last five years the IoPPN has become the world’s leading producer of high-quality research papers in mental health. In the UK’s university research quality assessment, the impact of our research was judged to be 100% ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’. The IoPPN and SLaM jointly host the country’s only NIHR Biomedical Research Centre specialising in Mental Health, the NIHR Maudsley BRC.

The ACF clinical training component will be hosted by South London and Maudsley Specialist Training Scheme, one of the largest in the UK with over 80 different placements across South London. It has a longstanding reputation for being a leading UK psychiatry training scheme that, in partnership with the university department, has helped train a cadre of the UK's leading clinical academics in the speciality.
