The Clinical Research Fellow in Cardiorespiratory CT will undertake clinical and research activities focused on advanced cardiorespiratory photon counting CT imaging (PCCT). They will be under the overall supervision of Prof Amedeo Chiribiri, supported locally by Dr Jonathan Weir-McCall, and will contribute to the work of a small team of clinical academic consultants. They will gain experience in a range of cardiorespiratory applications that includes congenital and non-congenital heart and lung diseases, and care of cardio-oncology patients., The post is suitable for Specialty Trainees in Cardiology or Radiology who intend to specialise in a cardiorespiratory imaging sub-specialty. This may be cardiac, cardiovascular, cardio-oncology, cardiorespiratory, or pulmonary vascular focused, with all interests welcome, although any appointees will be expected to contribute to the whole research portfolio conducted on the PCCT. Applicants may have already commenced training in general Cardiology or Radiology and wish to gain more sub-specialty experience in Cardiorespiratory CT, by taking an Out-Of-Programme Experience (OOPE) from their current training programmes or have obtained CCT. The ideal candidate would be looking for sub-speciality experience in cardiorespiratory CT imaging by seeking a years clinical research experience, allowing them time to write grants and apply for further fellowships leading to a higher degree (e.g. MD or PhD) or use the academic work to further an application for an intermediate level fellowship.
However, those looking to further their medical career through augmentation with advanced imaging experience and familiarisation with the academic environment are also encouraged.
This post has a significant clinical component including care of patients at GSTT. It is primarily based at the Royal Brompton Hospital but there may be a requirement also to attend other GSTT and KCL sites.
Within the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine, the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences is a cutting-edge research and teaching School dedicated to development, translation and clinical application within medical imaging and computational modelling technologies. Our objective is to facilitate research and teaching guided by clinical questions and is aimed at novelty, understanding of physiology and pathophysiology as well as development of new diagnostic tools and therapies. This way, basic science can be rapidly translated into clinical applications (and vice versa).
This post is jointly hosted by the Research Department of Cardiovascular Imaging and the Royal Brompton Hospitals Imaging Department in Chelsea. The School of BMEIS has worked in partnership with Guys & St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT) to deliver specialist clinical services for many years. When the Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals joined GSTT in February 2021, we became the largest specialist heart and lung centre in the UK and among the largest in Europe. Together, we provide treatment for people with heart and lung disease, including rare and complex conditions, offering some of the most sophisticated treatment that is available anywhere in the world.
