We are looking for an enthusiastic clinical research assistant/practitioner to support an exciting research programme focused on the development and validation of novel technologies for the non-invasive detection of coronary inflammation and vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.

You are required to hold a degree in relevant subject e.g. Biological Sciences and have previous experience of working on clinical research studies/ clinical trials. Well-developed clinical skills such as venepuncture, cannulation, ECG would be desirable

This is a full time appointment on a fixed term contract for 2 years funded by NIHR BRC and the BHF and you will be based at the Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Interventional Centre (AMIIC), John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, OX3 9DU.
