Our successful candidate will be encouraged and supported to develop a specialist interest that complements the existing expertise within the department.

We would particularly welcome applicants with an interest in interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, sleep and non-invasive ventilation (NIV), respiratory failure, and lung cancer although all specialist interests will be considered and supported.

We work closely with Hull York Medical School (HYMS), offering opportunities to participate in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, as well as the supervision of resident doctors and allied health professionals.
