With opportunities to build a transdisciplinary team with leading clinical electrophysiologists at the University hospital, this is a unique opportunity to build a new research programme dedicated to understanding and solving important human cardiac diseases. The role will be based at our purpose-built institute, dedicated to translational medicine, Clinical Sciences Research Laboratory (CSRL) at UHCW.
