Join us as a Clinical Research Fellow in Cardiovascular Genomics at the UCL Institute of Health Informatics
The Institute of Health Informatics (IHI) is a vibrant, collaborative environment at the heart of UCL’s world-leading Faculty of Population Health Sciences.
The IHI was established in August 2014 within the Faculty of Population Health Sciences. Our mission is to conduct high-quality, data-intensive research to improve health outcomes locally, nationally, and globally.
Our interdisciplinary, highly-skilled staff bridge fields including data science, bioinformatics, epidemiology, psychology, computer science and information governance, carrying out world-class research and providing students with the tools they need to carry out research in today’s rapidly evolving field of health informatics.
The Faculty of Population Health Sciences is UCL’s largest research‑based faculty, comprising eight institutes dedicated to advancing health through innovative research and education.
We’re looking for a Clinical Research Fellow to join our team and help shape the future of health informatics. We are seeking a ambitious, self-directed Clinical Research Fellow to join a multidisciplinary team of researchers (human genetics, health data science, epidemiology) delivering transformational insights into the aetiology and genetic basis of the cardiomyopathies and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
