Postdoctoral Research Associate

Location: John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, OX3 9DU

We seek a postdoctoral scientist to join our interdisciplinary cardiovascular research group investigating human heart disease through multiscalar imaging approaches. As a core team member, you will spearhead computational approaches to cardiac spatial and tissue biology, working closely with clinical and preclinical scientists across local and international collaborations.

The role will include developing computational pipelines for -omics datasets, creating reproducible workflows, and designing novel spatial analytical methods. You will author publications, present at conferences, mentor junior researchers, and contribute to grant proposals. Experience in single-cell analysis, image processing, computer vision, machine learning, and high-performance computing is valued, as is knowledge of cardiovascular biology and interest in clinical translation.

Qualified candidates must hold a PhD/DPhil in a relevant field with demonstrated research experience, project management ability, and well developed interpersonal and communication skills. A track record of scientific publication and grant writing experience is an advantage but not essential. While the role is intended to be primarily computational, relevant wet-lab expertise would also be welcomed.

We strongly encourage potential applicants to reach out for informal discussion about the opportunity and role alignment.
