About Us
The Department of Women and Children’s Health is headed by Professor Ingrid Wolfe. Central to all we do is the concept of the life course of health. The physical and mental health of the next generation begins at the earliest stages, so our research spans preconception, maternity, infancy and adolescence.
We combine more than 100 experts in obstetrics, gynaecology and neonatology with specialists in a range of paediatric disorders. We deliver multidisciplinary teaching to King’s undergraduate and postgraduate students and dedicated training to healthcare professionals.
Our clinicians and scientists work across the UK and internationally to better understand the causes of women’s and children’s diseases. We advise governments, improve the delivery and management of health services and develop new diagnostic techniques.
About the role
The post is to build capacity for research and education within the Department of Women and Children’s Health under the School of Life Course and Population Health Sciences.
The post-holder will have a background in hypertension and/or maternal medicine, one of the Department’s strategic research areas, and be expected to realise the potential for integrated research activity across the wider School. The post holder will have an excellent track record in research; a proven ability to attract external funding to support their research programme, and a good record of publication in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals. Whilst primarily a career research focussed post, the post-holder will contribute to other relevant teaching within the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine. Experience of teaching at a relevant level and in an area related to Women and Children’s Health is therefore desirable. The post will be predominantly based at St Thomas’ Hospital and will include clinical activities in obstetrics. Teaching activities will be mainly across KCL’s Guy’s and Waterloo Campuses but could also be at other sites.
The post-holder will join Prof. Chappell’s research group in Women’s Health Academic Unit based in Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, part of King’s College London as well as the service of Women’s Health under the leadership of Professor Eugene Oteng-Ntim at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust.
This is a full-time post (40 hours per week) and will be offered until 15 September 2027.
