Clinical Career Development Fellow (Fixed Term)

The University of Cambridge has identified cardiovascular disease as a major research priority, and this has been endorsed by the recent award of a British Heart Foundation Research Excellence Award of £5 million (2024-2029).

The Cambridge BHF Centre of Research Excellence (BHF CRE) brings together a wide range of cardiovascular research groups across the University of Cambridge and affiliated institutions. More information about the Centre's aims and main research themes can be found on our website: https://www.cardiovascular.cam.ac.uk/research/cambridgecre.

We are now inviting applications for a Clinical Career Development Fellowship. This fellowship is available for an outstanding postdoctoral clinician in basic biomedical science or disciplines outside traditional biological science working at the interfaces of disciplines, particularly where adoption of techniques outside cardiovascular science can accelerate basic and translational research.

The award will include full salary plus £16.5K pa towards other costs. Individuals will be supported to apply for additional funding and become competitive for external Intermediate Research Fellowships by the end of their Fellowship.

The successful applicant will have a strong record of research and its communication in a relevant subject. The post holder will need to be able to work independently as well as in active collaboration with multi-disciplinary partners.

Informal enquiries about these posts can be directed to the Centre Manager, Dr Jane Sugars (jms80@cam.ac.uk).

The funds for this fellowship will be available for up to two years from the commencement of the post.

This appointment requires an Honorary Clinical Contract.

Interviews will be held on Thursday 24th October.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.

Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a basic disclosure (criminal records check) check, a health assessment and a security check. This appointment also requires an Honorary Clinical Contract.
