About the role

BHF Clinical Research Fellow in Heart Failure and Type 2 Diabetes

We are looking for a Clinical Research Fellow to join the vibrant research team at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester. The post is funded by a British Heart Foundation Programme Grant awarded to Prof Gerry McCann, NIHR Research Professor, Cardiovascular Imaging Group and Biomedical Research Centre Cardiovascular Lead. You will be supervised by Professor McCann and NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer Dr Gaurav Gulsin. The post holder will work in a newly established BHF Centre for Research Excellence with state-of-the-art NIHR clinical research facilities including a dedicated 3T CMR research scanner (BHF funded Siemens Vida installed in 2021) and a recently built Translational Medicine Facility for clinical research to support translational studies in cardiovascular MRI (CMR).

The primary project is to track progression of subclinical cardiac dysfunction detected by cardiac MRI in a multi-ethnic cohort of asymptomatic adults with type 2 diabetes (PREDICT study, ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03132129). You will invite participants from the PREDICT study, who have already undergone baseline comprehensive cardiovascular phenotyping (including multiparametric stress CMR, non-contrast cardiac CT, transthoracic echocardiography, and blood biomarker analysis), for repeat assessment. This will permit assessment of longitudinal changes in cardiac structure and function, in a group at high risk of progressing to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This work is one of the flagship projects of the Leicester NIHR Biomedical Research Centre/BHF Centre for Research Excellence and you will work closely with colleagues in the Leicester Diabetes Centre and the Leicester Institute for Precision health.

This is a fixed term contract for 2.5 years (with a view to extending for a further 6 months up to 3 years). This post is required on a temporary basis for a short-term piece of work.

The commencing salary is subject to the funding available within the grant and this may be less than the appointees Specialty training salary as the post is undertaken as an Out of Programme opportunity in order to undertake a higher degree.
