Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Cardiovascular Division of the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) to appoint a Senior Lecturer or Reader with an interest in how ion channel transcriptional dysregulation contributes to arrhythmias. The level of appointment will depend on experience.   You will be based in the Cardiac Function Section within the NHLI.  [https://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/research/research-sections/].

You will be expected to develop a research programme within NHLI and secure grant funding whilst contributing to teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

An interest in circadian clock regulation of ion channels and how aging affects ion channel function would be advantageous.  You will also need to show that you have a track record of securing research grants and evidence of high-quality publications.

The NHLI at Imperial College is internationally renowned for its research in cardiac electrophysiology spanning from cellular investigations (subcellular domains, ion channel function and cellular calcium dynamics), through to intact tissue and whole heart studies (myocardial slices and explanted pig and human donor hearts).  In parallel there is a vibrant clinical research programme that includes cardiac atrial MR imaging and a growing interest in applying AI to improve the diagnosis and treatment of complex cardiac arrhythmias and the delivery of several first-in-human invasive studies.

Duties and responsibilities

  • You will develop a programme of research in cardiac electrophysiology within the National Heart and Lung Institute.
  • You will foster national and international scientific collaborations with other world-leading centres.
  • You will teach and supervise undergraduate, postgraduate, masters and high research degrees.

Essential requirements

  • PhD in cardiac physiology or related field or equivalent
  • Track record of independent research in cardiac electrophysiology
  • Extensive experience in leading the design of research programmes, published original research, and presenting at national/international meetings
  • Experience of training undergraduate, postgraduate and higher degree students
