Postdoctoral Research Associate in Cardiac Digital Twins
Salary: £38,419- £51,755 per annum
Reference: 6746
Location: QM London
Closing date: 1 September 2025
The combination of personalised biophysical models and deep learning techniques with a digital twin approach has the potential to generate new treatments for cardiac diseases. Our research aims to optimise personalised treatment approaches for atrial fibrillation patients by using long-term therapy outcomes across populations of patients to inform patient-specific predictive treatments. To achieve this, we will develop personalised cardiac models at scale, and update these models over time, using imaging and electrical data collected by collaborators at multiple centres. We are seeking to appoint a postdoctoral research associate as part of a UKRI Future Leader Fellowship funded research programme.The successful candidate will work as part of a team to develop and apply deep learning approaches to predict long-term treatment outcome from imaging and electrical data on clinical timescales, using a virtual cohort as additional training data. The candidate will also develop novel techniques to update digital twin models over time using longitudinal data, to improve long-term treatment prediction. Finally, the candidate will work with members of our Personalised Cardiac Modelling lab (pcmlab.co.uk) to develop a prototype tool for utilizing this prediction tool in a clinical environment.

Postdoctoral Research Assistant – Musckuloskeletal Organ-Chip Models
Salary: £ 40,015 - £44,288 per annum
Reference: 7126
Location: QM London
Closing date: 24 September 2025
A Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) is sought to join the musculoskeletal organ-chip research team within Queen Mary’s Centre for Predictive in vitro Models.This 23-month post is part of the Precision Musculoskeletal Care theme at the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre. The PDRA will help drive our activity in developing, validating, and testing a suit of new musculoskeletal organ-chip models. These include different combinations of tissues such as synovium, cartilage, bone, meniscus, blood vessels and fat, as well as conditions such as inflammation, osteoarthritis and fibrosis. The post allows for some flexibility in the specific models and related research, but with a strong emphasis on supporting further grant applications in this field.
