The medical imaging modalities include structural and functional MRI, PET-CT, PET-MRI, total body PET, and CT including soon to be available photon-counting CT, of heart, brain, other organs, and vasculature including atheromatous plaque. The fellow will work closely with clinicians, medical physicists, radiochemists, image analysts and acquisition staff and students in the Advanced Imaging Theme, linking with researchers in related Themes.Grade UE07: £40,497–£48,149 per annumFull time: 35 hours per weekFixed term: until 30 September 2029Apply by: 8 May Apply now Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Bioinformatics We seek two postdoctoral researchers to contribute to the management and publishing of work funded by the British Heart Foundation Research Excellence (REA4) award, which is positioned to understand and exploit mechanisms of regeneration and repair in cardiac diseases and other diseases central to the mission of REA4. This will involve analysis of multimodal omics data in cardiovascular remodelling and how to manipulate findings and assess therapeutic gain in models of disease (myocardial infarction etc.).Grade UE07: £40,497–£48,149 per annumFull time: 35 hours per weekFixed term: until 30 September 2029Apply by: 8 May Apply now Research Fellow in Health Data Science We seek a research fellow to work with a multidisciplinary research team in the delivery of the BHF REA4 Data-Driven Innovation theme, which is led by Professor Nicholas Mills (British Heart Foundation Chair of Cardiology) and Dr Atul Anand (Reader in Health Data Research). The post-holder will be responsible for conducting and supporting original research, focusing on the use of health data for the development of clinical decision-support tools in acute cardiovascular care using statistical modelling and machine learning techniques.Grade UE08: £49,559–£60,907 per annumFull time: 35 hours per weekFixed term: Two years with potential to extend to September 2029Apply by: 8 May Apply now Senior Scientist (Bioinformatics) We seek a senior scientist to plan, manage, and implement a programme of high-quality cardiovascular research funded by the British Heart Foundation Research Excellence Award (REA4), which is positioned to understand and exploit mechanisms of regeneration and repair in cardiac disease. This will involve analysis of multimodal omics data in cardiovascular remodelling and how to manipulate findings and assess therapeutic gain in models of disease (myocardial infarction etc.). This role will include management of staff, including two postdoctoral bioinformatics posts, training and data resources, with the aim of providing high-level input into REA4, implementation of a bioinformatics community, leading to long-term bioinformatics infrastructure and resulting impact through, for example, publications of research outcomes in high-impact journals.Grade UE08: £49,559–£60,907 per annumFull time: 35 hours per weekFixed term: until 30 September 2029Apply by: 8 May Apply now This article was published on 2025-04-16
