The UK Health Security Agency is offering a full-time, two-year Field Epidemiology Training Programme (UKFETP) Fellowship focused on microbiology and infectious diseases, aimed at higher specialist trainees. This specialized postgraduate program is designed for medical, scientific, veterinary, or nursing professionals seeking to enhance their field investigation and epidemiology skills. The fellowship involves on-the-job training, with at least ten percent dedicated to formal courses, and requires fellows to relocate to designated training sites across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Candidates should possess postgraduate education and experience in public health or related fields and must demonstrate their suitability through a structured application process.

Fellows will engage in a range of responsibilities centered around field epidemiology and public health microbiology, while also being involved in national projects and potentially international missions. Applicants from outside the Civil Service are welcome, but they must have the right to work in the UK by the start date and cannot have previously completed an advanced FETP program. The role supports hybrid working arrangements, requiring a minimum of 60% of hours on-site, and successful candidates will undergo a security check before appointment. Applications are due by December 22, 2024, with interviews scheduled for March 31, 2025, and the fellowship commencing on September 11, 2025.
