RDM-Cardiovascular Medicine provides a vibrant and dynamic environment for researchers, offering state-of-the-art facilities and a multidisciplinary team approach to cardiovascular research. This opportunity is particular suited to a Post Doctoral Scientist who has established expertise and track record in cardiovascular disease, and could benefit from the sustained support of the BHF’s award to develop their career and make major contributions to the work of the group

The Post Doctoral Researcher will be the senior scientist leading the discovery science research supporting the BHF Professorship award to Prof. Keith Channon – a 5 year renewable award that underpins the work of the group.
