We seek candidates (either clinical or non-clinical) for two-year positions as Intermediate Research (Transition) Fellows in Cardiovascular Sciences at the newly established Manchester British Heart Foundation Centre of Research Excellence (CRE). These Fellowships will provide support (personal salary, access to scientific support posts, and consumables) for successful candidates to prepare, within the timeframe of the funding, applications for externally funded personal Fellowships at Intermediate level to take the next step towards their scientific independence.

You will develop a research programme that aligns with one or more of the five Research Themes of the Manchester CRE (Cardiovascular Genomics and Development; Heart Failure; Cardiovascular/Cerebrovascular Inflammation; Data Science; Computational Cardiovascular Medicine), benefiting from mentorship by key CRE stakeholders working in the appropriate Theme.

As part of your application you should use the “supporting information” section to include a 2 page outline of your proposed external fellowship, and specific objectives (eg key preliminary data) required prior to the external submission, that you will achieve during the CRE fellowship.

What you will get in return:

• Fantastic market leading Pension scheme
