HBLB Research Fellow in Biological Signal Processing

Fixed Term (- Feb 2026)

The University of Surrey is an international University with a world-class research profile and an enterprising spirit. Inventive and forward-thinking, our heritage shows a recurring theme of doing things differently – and achieving notable results. 

We are now seeking an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Biological Signal Processing to work within a diverse research team under Prof Jeevartnam’s supervision. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team at Surrey and will be primarily engaged in a project aiming to develop computational algorithms for the prediction of cardiac rhythm abnormalities.  

A major component of this post will involve data collection, analysis, interpretation and manuscript preparation. The successful candidate will also be expected to prepare periodic reports for the funding body and be directly involved in grant administration. 

The candidate will be responsible for managing their own time within the context of their role, the requirements and objectives associated with their position. There will be a need to undertake tasks that may not be directly related to the project but where the candidate’s expertise may be useful. 

About you

Expertise in machine learning and coding is essential in addition to a thorough understanding of large-scale data processing using computational approaches. A proven track record in these areas is also essential, with a previous publication track record in biological signal processing being desirable. 

Applicants must be highly motivated, enthusiastic and engaged in scholarly activities conducive to a long-term successful academic career that will support and enhance the research culture within the department and the school. 

What we can offer

In addition to salary, you will receive a generous annual leave entitlement of 25 days holiday plus 7 university closure days and 8 bank holidays (pro rata for part time roles), a generous pension, access to world-class leisure facilities on campus, a range of travel schemes, and supportive family friendly benefits including an excellent on-site nursery.

How to apply

To apply please submit your CV via our website along a relevant list of publications and a letter outlining specific expertise in biological signal processing and how you have been involved in its development and implementation in research.
