We have an exciting and prestigious opportunity available! We are looking to appoint a Research Fellow in Cardiology, the appointment is for a 12-month fixed-term post, available from March 2026 with a view to extend.
The Trust serves a population of 520,000 and has on site angiography, angioplasty and pacing.
The successful applicant will be engaged in cardiology research predominantly, working towards an MD/PhD in Cardiology. The main area of research focuses on the use of near-patient testing of thrombotic status to identify patients with cardiac conditions at risk of future thrombotic events and investigating the relative effect of antithrombotic agents in thrombotic risk reduction and bleeding risk.
The successful applicant will be actively involved in these and future projects, and it is intended that the candidate will register for a higher research degree (MD or PhD), through existing links with either the University of Hertfordshire or Imperial College. There will be also a requirement to help support the research team of nurses to recruit patients into commercial clinical trials and registries that are ongoing.
Please note we do not offer visa sponsorship for this role. This means even if you have the right to work currently but will require a new sponsorship to work for our Trust your application will not be considered.
• Responsible for day to day running of clinical research projects, in particular for patient recruitment, enrolment, follow-up and data entry.
• Contribute to the design of new clinical research projects. Obtain permission from local Ethics Committee and write up results.
• The appropriate candidate will participate in delivering cardiac services, both to research participants and general cardiology patients, inparticular out-patient clinics, ward cover and on calls. Exposure to Cardiac Imaging and Intervention is also possible.
