Summary
Aims and Responsibilities of the Post The primary aim of this post is to provide comprehensive experience in the academic aspects of Structural Interventional Cardiology. A core responsibility involves the coordination and conduct of new and existing studies including observational research using existing datasets, and commercially sponsored clinical trials Research Focus The successful candidate will lead a dedicated research portfolio focused on the. evolution of TAVI and mitral/tricuspid interventions (such as TEER). A central pillar of this role is the synthesis of large-scale evidence to answer critical questions regarding procedural safety, long-term durability, and patient selection. The Research Fellow will be responsible for: Dataset Integration: Leveraging existing local Oxford databases, national registries (such as NICOR), and data from commercially sponsored clinical trials to work on clinical projects. Project Development: Designing and executing original research protocols, from hypothesis generation to statistical analysis, focusing on real-world outcomes in structural heart disease. Comparative Analysis: Utilizing multi-modality dataincluding advanced CT and Echocardiographic parametersto evaluate the efficacy of emerging aortic, mitral and tricuspid therapies against established surgical and medical standards. Academic Output: Translating these data-driven insights into high-impact manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and presenting findings at major international congresses (e.g., EuroPCR, TCT, ESC). Training and Output This post is designed for trainees who are undertaking time out of a training program and wish to focus on high-impact research output, prior to undertaking a higher degree (MD/PhD). Active leadership in clinical research is an integral part of the post, alongside technical training in the interpretation of cardiac imaging (specifically echocardiography and CT) to support research analysis.
