Lead world-class research and shape the future of child outcomes.
We are seeking a senior clinician with extensive research/academic experience to join the University of Leeds as Professor of Child Health, to support the growth and delivery of our ambitious Child Health Outcomes Research at Leeds (CHORAL) programme.

You will have an excellent research and publication record; your work will align with CHORAL's aims and the strategic priorities of the University of Leeds and its key stakeholders. A national and international reputation in your field, supported by active engagement in professional, research, and education networks, is essential.
The University of Leeds offers a range of benefits including generous pension schemes, family friendly policies and an entitlement of ten days of staff development per year (pro rata) for FMH staff.
