Clinical Fellow in ILD
The closing date is 24 February 2026
Job summary
This is an exciting opportunity to undertake a full-time clinical fellowship within the interstitial lung disease service at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Trust. The successful applicant will be at ST5 level or above and join an internationally recognised, research-active multi-disciplinary team of clinicians caring for one of the largest cohort of patients with interstitial lung diseases in the world.
Applicants will hold Specialist Registrar status within GSTT and should hold MRCP (or equivalent) and have reached at least ST5 (or post-CCT) in respiratory medicine.
This post may close early if a sufficient number of applications have been received.

The fellowship will offer a balance of clinical training in the management of interstitial lung disease alongside active participation in clinical trials and translational research within King's Centre for Lung Health, based at Guy's Hospital.

There will be an opportunity for the post-holder to participate in clinical and theoretical postgraduate and undergraduate teaching within the Department including both MBBS and for allied health professionals.
All medical and dental staff are expected to take part in clinical governance activity, including clinical audit, clinical guideline and protocol development and clinical risk management. They will be expected to produce evidence of their contribution in these areas and their audit of their own clinical work as part of their appraisal.
