Join our dynamic, multidisciplinary team as a Research Associate and make a transformative impact in scientific machine learning and digital twins for healthcare innovation! This role focuses on developing high-fidelity cardiovascular models, simulating fluid dynamics, and exploring device-flow and device-tissue interactions through cutting-edge multi-physics and physiological modelling.

You will leverage clinical and experimental datasets, apply physics-based simulations, and harness the power of scientific machine learning, including data assimilation and uncertainty quantification. Additionally, you'll work with large-scale multimodal datasets, clinical trials data, and population imaging studies to drive innovation in personalised medicine and in silico trials.

If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of computational modelling and shaping the future of digital healthcare, this is the opportunity to bring your expertise to life!

What you’ll need

Applicants should have a PhD in computational cardiovascular mechanics and prosthetic valves or related fields and expertise in either computational solid mechanics to analyse soft-tissue deformations and device interactions or computational fluid mechanics to enable analysis of haemodynamics and thrombosis. One of the critical challenges we want to tackle is how to efficiently execute ensembles of virtual experiments entailing. Experience in working with multiphysics and multiscale models and in accelerated methods for solving partial differential equations and scientific machine learning (physics-informed machine learning) is essential. A developing publication profile will be advantageous.

As this role involves research at a postgraduate level, applicants who are not an EEA national or a national of an exempt country and who will require sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route of the UK Visas and Immigration’s (UKVI) Points Based System in order to take up the role, will be required to apply for an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) Certificate and will need to obtain this prior to making any official visa application UKVI.

Interviews: 29th August 2025

What you will get in return:

  • Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
  • Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme
  • Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays
  • Additional paid closure over the Christmas period
  • Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for AI Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The artificial intelligence sector has transformed from a niche technology field into one of the UK's most dynamic employment markets. With AI roles ranging from machine learning engineers to data scientists and AI product managers commanding average salaries between £45,000 and £120,000, timing your job search strategically can significantly impact your success rate. Understanding when companies typically hire for AI positions—and why these patterns exist—can give you a competitive edge in landing your dream role. Unlike traditional industries with predictable seasonal fluctuations, the AI job market follows distinct patterns driven by corporate budgets, educational cycles, and technological project timelines. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal months to apply for AI jobs in the UK, helping you align your career moves with industry hiring peaks.
