Lecturer B in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Lecturer B in Cardiac Electrophysiology

We are currently seeking applications from exceptional individuals with expertise ranging from molecular & cellular sciences to clinical sciences to deliver our ambitions to expand and develop the Faculty’s research strategy within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. The post holder will be working within the One Health Cardiology Research Group led by Prof Kamalan Jeevaratnam reporting to Head of Discipline (Comparative Biomedical Sc) and Prof Jeevaratnam. Additionally, there will be an expectation to be involved in working together with other members of the department to drive the ‘One Health-One Medicine’ research strategy for non-communicable disease research.

We have appointed several individuals in the field of cardiovascular research (clinical and basic scientists), musculoskeletal biology, and tissue engineering as part of the departmental research focus. It is envisaged that the successful candidate’s expertise ideally should fit with or compliment these areas of research but not necessarily overlap. We are keen to appoint a candidate (i) that will bring synergistic expertise but with a focus on electrophysiological expertise (ii) who’s research portfolio will benefit from existing expertise within the department.

The post holder in expected to work collaboratively with Prof Jeevaratnam in bid submissions and also pursue an independent research portfolio that is supported by external funding and evidenced by high quality publication.

There will be an expectation to contribute to the teaching of preclinical sciences (e.g. genetics, physiology, molecular biology, cellular sciences etc) at postgraduate and undergraduate level and selected subject in the later years of the veterinary medicine programme.

You will have a PhD in a related field and prior solid postdoctoral research experience with key outputs in cardiac electrophysiology. Evidence of collaborative research network locally and internationally is essential. Candidates with a degree registrable with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons or the General Medical Council are particularly welcomed but not essential.

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic individual to play a leading role in helping shape the department cardiac electrophysiology research programme as well as deliver on an innovative curriculum. Individuals with fellowship positions or successful bids are desirable but not essential.
