Senior Clinical Research Advisor

3 weeks ago


North West London, United Kingdom British Heart Foundation Full time
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 the role

As our Senior Research Advisor for Clinical Fellowships, youll be responsible for the scientific management of BHFs diverse portfolio of personal funding awards, which range from PhD studentships through to Senior Fellowships for established researchers.

Youll deliver rigorous assessments of applications through our Fellowships Committee, one of five research funding committees that collectively direct BHFs investment in new research - which has amounted to almost £500 million over the past 5 years.

Youll 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 BHFs Fellowships Committee, together with the Senior Research advisor for Basic Science Fellowships, youll take a flexible approach to cover the work of the BHFs other research funding committees as required.
Youll also support the Chief Scientific and Medical Officer and Associate Medical Directors in implementing the BHFs 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 BHFs EDI strategy Igniting Change.

Working arrangements

This is a blended role, where your work will be dual located between your home and our London office.

At the BHF we believe in the power of being together, so our colleagues on blended contracts can expect to spend some time in their office, at least one day each week, on average. The use of our office spaces is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do. This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause.

Need more help balancing your work and home life? Talk to us about what flexibility is available at the application or interview stage.

About you

With a PhD in a biomedical science discipline, youll have knowledge of the cardiovascular research landscape and associated opportunities and challenges. Previous experience in supporting clinical academic careers may be helpful but is not an essential requirement.

Youll have knowledge and understanding of the BHF, our mission and the importance of research to our mission and will have substantial research experience gained in academia and/or industry. Youll also have experience in organising scientific peer review, including through funder or journal roles.

Youll serve as an ambassador for BHF promoting its research achievements. Youll be able to organise and prioritise a flexible workload whilst also managing multiple deadlines.

With excellent attention to detail and accuracy, while maintaining sight of the bigger picture and thinking strategically, youll be a proactive member of the team possessing outstanding communication skills, able to deliver confident and articulate presentations to scientific and non-scientific audiences. In addition, you'll have excellent literacy, numeracy and database skills.

About us

Every single one of us is vulnerable to the heartbreak caused by heart and circulatory diseases they are the worlds 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 individuals 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.
Interview process
Interviews will be held via MS Teams on 15th May 2024, which will be a competency based Q&A session and presentation. A short, more informal meeting, with some key stakeholders this role will work with will follow on from the interview.
