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.
