Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational Cardiovascular Science

Department of Computer Science, Parks Road, Oxford.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational Cardiovascular Science

Fixed term until 31 January 2024 with possible extension

Grade 8: Salary £42,149 - £50,296 p.a. (Post may be under-filled at Grade 7 £33,309 - £40,927 p.a.)

We have an opening for full time Research Associates to work within the Computational Cardiovascular Science Team, until January 2024 with a potential extension.  We are looking for a highly motivated scientist to conduct research within the Computational Cardiovascular Science Team (www.cs.ox.ac.uk/ccs). We welcome applications both from junior and senior postdoctoral scientists.

Under the supervision of Professor Blanca Rodriguez (Professor of Computational Medicine), you will have responsibility for carrying out impactful research at the interface of cardiology and computational modelling and simulation science. You will work in close collaboration with our clinical and industrial partners, and other members of the team. We will support your career development, through supporting your scientific work, and also through attendance to conferences, student supervision and supporting applications for personal fellowships, as appropriate.

You will hold a PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related discipline. You will possess either knowledge or a strong interest in learning cardiac multiscale modelling and simulation, and knowledge/experience in one or more of these areas: image-based modelling, high performance computing, machine learning and cardiac electromechanical modelling and simulation. Experience of actively developing research outputs such as publications is required.

We can consider candidates with potential but less experience who are seeking a development opportunity, for which an initial appointment would be at Grade 7 (£33,309 - £40,927 p.a.) with responsibilities adjusted accordingly. This would be discussed with applicants at interview/appointment where appropriate.

Applicants will be required to upload a supporting statement, setting out how you meet the selection criteria.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 4 July 2022.  Interviews are expected to be held in July.
