The Vascular Department is looking for a well-motivated and enthusiastic individual to join their team as a Clinical Research Fellow. This post is particularly well suited to an experienced resident vascular specialist looking to expand their research portfolio.
About the Role
The Department of Vascular Surgery provides a Trust-wide service, with the arterial hub based at University Hospital Coventry and outreach to three spoke hospitals: Warwick Hospital, Rugby St. Cross, and George Eliot Hospital. Outpatient clinics and day-case procedures are delivered across these sites.
About Us
University Hospital Coventry is a 1,000+ bed tertiary centre, a designated Level III Trauma Unit, and affiliated with Warwick Medical School, one of the UK’s leading medical institutions.
We run an established Surgeon-led EVAR/FEVAR programme performed in the vascular operating theatre, with TEVAR and aortic arch interventions also undertaken by the vascular team, including emergency out-of-hours TEVAR for BTAI.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
