If you are interested in Academic Clinical Training in psychiatric neuroscience you are welcome to visit the Cambridge Neuroscience website (https://www.neuroscience.cam.ac.uk/), which can help you to explore the research that is happening in Cambridge, find events and meetings, and explore potential supervisors. In fact, the first step in getting a clinical academic post is generally to discuss a project with one of the prospective supervisors.
