Clinical Research Fellow

Applications for this vacancy closed on 23 November 2023 at 12:00PM
An opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Research Fellow to undertake an
exciting and ambitious project using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging
to investigate left atrial blood flow dynamics and their impact on
thrombogenesis. The post is funded for 3 years including a generous
consumables allowance via the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)
Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). You will work closely with Professor
Barbara Casadei (BHF Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine & Honorary
Consultant Cardiologist), Dr Marco Spartera (Consultant Cardiologist), and Dr
Rohan Wijesurendra (Honorary Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist).





We have developed experience in using CMR 4D flow techniques to reproducibly
assess left atrial blood flow parameters and shown that an abnormal left
atrial blood flow phenotype is independently associated with prevalent embolic
brain infarcts, irrespective of heart rhythm. The current project will build
on this foundation, aiming to advance the research and development of the
technique and also combine this with more fundamental and mechanistic tissue-
based studies to address relevant clinical questions in patients with or at
risk of cardiovascular disease (e.g. atrial fibrillation, stroke, heart
failure). We are well placed to undertake these investigations in Oxford, with
access to cutting-edge CMR scanners and techniques, a tertiary referral centre
patient population, and expertise across the relevant clinical and technical
disciplines.





Your main responsibilities will include obtaining necessary ethical and
regulatory approval, recruiting patients and healthy volunteers, acquiring and
analysing CMR and other data (including wet lab work), working with technical
collaborators to develop and improve imaging sequences and post-processing
software, and drafting scientific outputs. Training will be provided locally
in the necessary project-specific skills, and a large portfolio of generic
skills courses is also available within the Medical Sciences Division (e.g.
statistics, presentation skills, etc.). You will be required to hold a primary
medical degree and GMC registration. Relevant clinical experience in
cardiology and/or previous publications, presentations, prizes, and honours
would be desirable.





This is a full-time appointment on a fixed term contract for 3 years at the
John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, OX3 9DU. The successful candidate would be
expected to start as soon as possible and would be encouraged to register for
a DPhil (PhD) at the University of Oxford, and supported in an application for
further external funding.





Applications for this vacancy are to be made online; you will be required to
upload a CV and supporting statement which explains how you meet the selection
criteria for the post.





Only applications received before 12.00 midday on 23 November 2023 can be
considered. Interviews are scheduled to place on 4th December 2023.





The University is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
