Non-Clinical Intermediate Transition Fellow
Cambridge BHF Centre of Cardiovascular Research Excellence Non-Clinical Intermediate-Level Fellowships
The University of Cambridge has identified cardiovascular disease as a major research priority, and this has been endorsed by the recent award of a British Heart Foundation Research Excellence Award of £5 million (2024-2019).

More information about the Centre's aims and main research themes can be found here: https://www.cardiovascular.cam.ac.uk/research/cambridgecre.

These fellowships are available for outstanding postdoctoral researchers in basic biomedical science or disciplines outside traditional biological science working at the interfaces of disciplines ¿ particularly where adoption of techniques outside cardiovascular science can accelerate basic and translational research.

Technical support may also be available if justified in the application.
