Senior Clinical Research Fellow Post (ST3+ Level) in Cardiology

Barts Heart Centre

Job Reference Number: 259-MED540SBH


Applications are invited for a whole time Senior Clinical Research Fellow post (ST3+ level) in Cardiovascular-Disease (CVD) prevention and specialised cardiology.

The post is available from April 2024 and is funded for 18 months.


This is an exciting opportunity to work at the Barts Heart Centre (BHC), which is Europe's largest cardiac center, providing world class services in all major cardiac subspecialties.

A unique element of Barts is its preventative cardiology offering.

This incorporates a large regional CVD risk and lipids service, specialist hypertension clinics, cardiac rehabilitation and close links with diabetes and obesity specialists.

The CVD risk and lipids service treats patients with premature CAD (< 45yrs), those with family histories of premature CVD and advanced dyslipidemia including Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH).

Specialist prescribing of PCSK9 inhibitors and all advanced secondary prevention therapies are offered through this service.

Previous experience in general cardiology at ST3+ level or equivalent is essential as is MRCP (UK) or equivalent. Current full GMC registration with a license to practice is essential.

Main duties of the job

This post is intended as a two-year clinical research post, in partnership with Verve Therapeutics.

The primary responsibility will be to support recruitment to the groundbreaking Verve 101 and 102 phase 1 trials for genetic editing for lifelong cholesterol lowering in patients with FH or premature CAD.

The fellow will have support to complete a research MD, registered at UCL, broadly in CVD risk/ coronary artery disease, but this will be tailored to the candidate's interests.

The fellow will also gain training in preventative cardiology and be expected to support the clinical service with specialist outpatient clinics.


This post is suitable for someone with a good grounding in general medicine and cardiology, wishing to pursue a dedicated period of research, and ideally with an interest in coronary artery disease and prevention.

Opportunities for advanced training in preventative cardiology and a relevant area such as cardiac CT, could be accommodated for the right candidate.
