BHC is a world-class institution that provides state of the art cardiovascular care to a population of six million people.About the role The post is funded for 18 months to develop and apply computational models that integrate proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, and clinical outcomes for patients undergoing valve surgery. This innovative project leverages advanced modelling and simulation techniques to unravel the complex interactions between molecular, cellular, and clinical data, ultimately aiming to improve patient care in cardiovascular interventions.About you The successful candidate will design and implement state-of-the-art computational frameworks that incorporate cell-level modelling—focusing on electrophysiology, calcium handling, and contraction—with clinical imaging data (CT and MRI). The role will involve using finite element solvers on high-performance computing (HPC) platforms, alongside emulators, Bayesian history matching, and sensitivity analysis to ensure robust and predictive models. Proficiency in Python is essential for developing data integration pipelines and simulation tools. The post is funded through an academic research grant awarded to UCL, from the British Heart Foundation, for 18-months, full-time equivalent.What we offer As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below: • 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days) • Additional 5 days’ annual leave purchase scheme • Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE) • Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan • Immigration loan • Relocation scheme for certain posts • On-Site nursery • On-site gym • Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay • Employee assistance programme: Staff Support Service • Discounted medical insurance Visit https://www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/rewards-and-benefits to find out more.Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion As London’s Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent.
