Clinical Career Development Fellow (Fixed Term)

at  University of Cambridge

Clinical Career Development Fellows - Cambridge BHF Centre of Research Excellence
The University of Cambridge has identified cardiovascular disease as a major research priority, and this has been endorsed by the recent award of a British Heart Foundation Research Excellence Award of £5 million (2024-2029).
The Cambridge BHF Centre of Research Excellence (BHF CRE) brings together a wide range of cardiovascular research groups across the University of Cambridge and affiliated institutions. More information about the Centre’s aims and main research themes can be found on our website: https://www.cardiovascular.cam.ac.uk/research/cambridgecre.
We are now inviting applications for a Clinical Career Development Fellowship. This fellowship is available for outstanding postdoctoral researchers in basic biomedical science, applied health research and population/data science, and translational medicine, or outside traditional areas working at the interfaces of disciplines - particularly where adoption of techniques outside cardiovascular science or medicine can accelerate translational research.
The award will include full salary at the appropriate training grade plus £16.5K pa towards other costs. Individuals will be supported to apply for additional funding and become competitive for external Intermediate Research Fellowships by the end of their Fellowship.
Successful applicants will have a strong record of research and its communication in a relevant subject. The post holders will need to be able to work independently as well as in active collaboration with multi-disciplinary partners.
Informal enquiries about these posts can be directed to the Centre Manager, Dr Jane Sugars (jms80@cam.ac.uk).
The funds for this fellowship will be available for up to two years from the commencement of the post.
This appointment requires an Honorary Clinical Contract.
Candidates should contact one of the Centre co-applicants to seek their support as a potential supervisor before applying.
