Senior Clinical Fellow in Metagenomics

An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated registrar in Infectious Diseases, Medical Microbiology, Virology, public health or paediatrics (including paediatric infectious diseases) who also has a skillset in pathogen genomics and/or clinical epidemiology to join UKHSA as a senior metagenomics clinical fellow.

UKHSA is delivering a 5-year pathogen genomics strategy. We are looking for a clinical fellow to work on clinical aspects of pathogen genomics transformation, within the Chief Medical Advisor Group on a workstream focussing on clinical oversight of metagenomics and governance. The individual will work across the breadth of the programme, but with a particular focus on metagenomics and clinical services development.

This fellowship is an outstanding opportunity for the individual to gain experience and expertise at a national level in areas including pathogen genomics, clinical study leadership and governance, biosecurity and bio surveillance, investigation and management of major incidents and outbreaks; infectious disease surveillance; guidance and policy development and implementation; research; service development and improvement including close collaborative work across regional reference laboratories, directorate and divisions.
