The University of Liverpool in partnership with Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust are keen to appoint a candidate training in a paediatric specialty caring for children with inflammatory disease, preferentially (but not limited to) Rheumatology, Immunology and Infectious Diseases. The well-established Paediatric Inflammation Programme (led by Prof Hedrich) covers a wide range of paediatric inflammatory diseases, including childhood arthritis (juvenile idiopathic arthritis/JIA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), inflammatory skin and airway diseases.

We are seeking applications from medically qualified candidates with a track record and interest in childhood inflammatory disease, and advanced clinical/translational research expertise who will build on and add to the success of our group. Successful candidates will demonstrate an ability to win funding for clinical research in a relevant area, to deliver publications and clinical health impact.
