British Heart Foundation (BHF) is the major funder of cardiovascular research in the UK and one of the leading funders globally.
For over 50 years our research has saved lives. We have broken new ground, revolutionised treatments and transformed care. But heart and circulatory disease still kills one in four people in the UK. That is why we need you.

ABOUT US

Every single one of us is vulnerable to the heartbreak caused by heart and circulatory diseases – they are the world’s biggest killers. But the research we fund represents hope. And nothing matters more than finding cures and treatments that give us more time with the people we love.
We value and respect every individual’s unique contribution, celebrate diversity, and make inclusion part of what we do every day.
Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, Igniting Change, along with our internal EDI group, Kaleidoscope, and a growing number of employee network groups (our Affinity Groups), help us create an environment where all our colleagues and volunteers can succeed.

As our Senior Research Advisor for Clinical Fellowships, you’ll be responsible for the scientific management of BHF’s diverse portfolio of personal funding awards, which range from PhD studentships through to Senior Fellowships for established researchers.
You’ll deliver rigorous assessments of applications through our Fellowships Committee, one of five research funding committees that collectively direct BHF’s investment in new research - which has amounted to almost £500 million over the past 5 years.
You’ll also engage with and support the clinical research community, identify ways to attract and retain clinical talent to our schemes and promote our offer within the clinical scientific community liaising with external institution and academies.
Working primarily to facilitate the work of BHF’s Fellowships Committee, together with the Senior Research advisor for Basic Science Fellowships, you’ll take a flexible approach to cover the work of the BHF’s other research funding committees as required. You’ll also support the Chief Scientific and Medical Officer and Associate Medical Directors in implementing the BHF’s research strategy, particularly in any aspects related to personal funding schemes and support for early- and mid-career researchers, including through liaison with external bodies such as other funders and learned academies, and you will help deliver the research elements of the BHF’s EDI strategy ‘Igniting Change’.
