The Fetal Medicine Research Institute is a major research and clinical unit for fetal diagnosis and therapy. Each year more than 10,000 patients benefit from its services and about 300 doctors, midwives and scientists visit to observe its clinical and research activities. The Fetal Medicine Research Institute has been leading numerous research studies which have been successfully completed leading to more than 1,400 scientific publications in peer-reviewed international journals and more than 50 PhD or MD degrees.

The research team at the Fetal Medicine Research Institute at King’s College Hospital has an extensive portfolio covering a range of studies from observational cohort studies to interventional trials for the prediction and prevention of pregnancy complications; and has developed a reputation for excellence in research delivery. An opportunity has arisen for a band 4 research assistant to join the team.
