We are looking to appoint a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher, with a clinical science or physiology background, to work at the Cardiovascular Clinical Research Facility at the University of Oxford. This role presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to the CAREFOL Offspring Study funded by the British Heart Foundation. The study follows up children of mothers who took part in the CAREFOL-HT pregnancy study and will look at the impact of a nutritional supplement during pregnancy on the long-term cardiovascular health of the offspring.

The successful candidate will play a key role in follow up and recruitment of the children, at age 1 to 4 years, scheduling and conducting screening and study assessments, performing ultrasound imaging, and managing data entry and quality control. As the new data will be linked with information from samples previously collected during pregnancy, there will also be opportunities to be involved with analysis of multi-omic data to study mechanisms underlying improvements in long term health.

Strong interpersonal and teamworking skills are essential. The applicant needs to be comfortable with, and have experience of, physiological studies in children. This opportunity is ideal for individuals with a relevant academic background and/or prior experience in clinical or medical research within paediatric populations, including studies into the developmental origins of disease.

You will be required to upload a covering letter with a supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
