An Exciting Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen to continue the academic collaboration between Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and Professor Gina Brown, Chair of Gastrointestinal Imaging at Imperial College London.
Available from 7 October 2026
This post offers an ST3+ trainee the opportunity to undertake colorectal research whilst maintaining clinical and endoscopic skills within a busy colorectal unit. The successful candidate will work under the academic supervision of Professor Gina Brown and the clinical supervision of Mr Arnold Goede.
The Role
The post builds on the success of previous fellows who have supported NIHR studies, secured grant funding and presented research nationally and internationally. Fellows will contribute to colorectal imaging research and receive support from both the BHT Research & Innovation Department and the Imperial College GI Clinical Trials Team.
The role combines research, colorectal surgery, lower GI endoscopy, medical student teaching, cancer pathway clinics and Lynch Syndrome services. Clinical activity includes outpatient clinics, endoscopy, and laparoscopic and robotic colorectal surgery.
Requirements
Applicants should have a strong interest in colorectal surgery and research, excellent communication skills and ideally hold JAG accreditation in lower GI endoscopy. The post is expected to contribute towards a higher degree and offers excellent academic and clinical development opportunities.
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.
