About the Role

This research post will be for a fixed-term duration of 3.5 years. The postholder will develop multi-modal artificial intelligence (AI) tools using cardiovascular imaging, electrocardiogram (ECG) and electronic health record (EHR) data to improve diagnosis, management and outcomes of heart failure.
