About us

Applications are invited for a clinical research fellow in Cardiac MRI to undertake clinical and research focussed on advanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging under the supervision of Prof Amedeo Chiribiri within the Department of Cardiovascular Imaging, School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, King’s College London.

About the role

Applicants should be medically qualified with full GMC registration with license to practice in the UK.  The post is suitable for Specialty Trainees in Cardiology who intend to specialise in the cardiac imaging sub-specialty or who have already commenced training in general cardiology and wish to gain more sub-specialty experience in Cardiac MRI (CMR), by taking an Out-Of-Programme Experience (OOPE) from their current training programmes.  The ideal candidate would be looking for sub-speciality experience in CMR imaging to further their medical career or alternatively be seeking a year’s clinical research experience which would allow them time to write grants and apply for further fellowships which may lead to further academic work.

The candidate should have excellent interpersonal, analytical and problem-solving skills with a proven ability to manage projects, work to deadlines and collaborate with clinical teams.  Prior research experience and peer-reviewed publications are highly desirable but not essential.

You are expected to participate in a rota of shifts across the 5-day working week covering some early shifts and some late shifts.
