This fellowship provides an outstanding opportunity to undertake high-impact clinical research within one of the UK’s leading academic interventional cardiology programmes. The successful candidate will contribute to a portfolio of investigator-led studies and international clinical trials focused on coronary intervention, reperfusion therapies, coronary physiology, and advanced intracoronary imaging.

 

The post has a strong emphasis on intravascular imaging, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), encompassing image acquisition, analysis, interpretation, and the development of novel imaging biomarkers. The successful applicant will play a key role in studies investigating plaque morphology, thrombus characterisation, coronary physiology, microvascular obstruction, and optimisation of percutaneous coronary intervention using state-of-the-art intracoronary imaging technologies. Opportunities will also exist to contribute to complementary multimodality imaging and translational cardiovascular research projects.

 

The Fellow will be based within the Acute Multidisciplinary Imaging and Interventional Centre (AMIIC), an internationally recognised centre for innovation in cardiovascular imaging, artificial intelligence, translational medicine, and complex coronary intervention. The post offers the opportunity to work alongside internationally recognised leaders in interventional cardiology, collaborating with imaging specialists, scientists and multidisciplinary research teams to translate novel technologies and therapeutic strategies into improvements in patient care.

 

 

The successful Clinical Research Fellow will have relevant clinical experience in cardiology together with experience in clinical research and routine clinical audit. Excellent organisational, communication, leadership and interpersonal skills are essential.

 

Previous experience in the analysis and interpretation of intracoronary imaging (particularly OCT and/or IVUS) is highly desirable, as the successful candidate will contribute to several imaging-intensive investigator-led studies and multicentre clinical trials where intravascular imaging forms a central component of the research programme. Experience in coronary physiology, image core laboratory activities, quantitative image analysis, or participation in interventional cardiology clinical trials would be an advantage.

 

This position is particularly suited to doctors approaching completion of specialist training in interventional cardiology who wish to gain advanced experience in translational cardiovascular research before taking up a substantive consultant appointment.

 

This is a full-time appointment on a fixed-term contract for 12 months, based at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford (OX3 9DU).

 

Applications should be submitted online via the University of Oxford Jobs website and must include a CV together with a supporting statement explaining how the selection criteria are met. Only applications received before midday on 26 July 2026 will be considered. Interviews are expected to take place on 3 August 2026.

This role does not meet the criteria for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa route under the UK Visas and Immigration points-based system. We are therefore unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

 

The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine is seeking an experienced Imaging Data Scientist to support the delivery of a major phase II clinical trial through expert analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging data within the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine (CVM), University of Oxford. CVM is renowned for excellence in translational and clinical cardiovascular research, delivering innovative studies that improve patient care and outcomes worldwide.

 

As Imaging Data Scientist, you will be responsible for high-quality, reproducible quantitative and qualitative analysis of trial CMR scans, contributing directly to the trial's primary and secondary imaging endpoints. In addition to primary trial responsibilities, you will contribute to the wider CMR research and analysis activities at OCMR, supporting image quality assurance, methodology development and the training of junior analysts and trainees.

 

This opportunity is particularly suited to candidates with extensive experience in CMR analysis and a strong background in imaging core lab operations. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrable track record of accurate, audit-ready image analysis, familiarity with standardised CMR reporting frameworks, and the ability to work to tight timelines on regulated trial work. Previous cardiac MRI analysis experience and previous imaging core lab experience are strongly preferred.

 

Full training will be provided in specialist aspects of the role, including cardiac magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and other advanced techniques specific to the trial. Candidates do not need prior experience in spectroscopy to apply, but must demonstrate the analytical aptitude and willingness to develop expertise in these areas.

 

This is a full-time appointment on a fixed-term contract to 27 July 2029. The Fellows will be based at the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research (OCMR), John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford OX3 9DU. We are seeking candidates who are ideally available to start as soon as possible to support the commencement of the clinical trial.

 

 

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online via the University website; you will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement which explains how you meet the selection criteria for the post.
