Professorship of Cardiovascular Ageing

The Department of Public Health and Primary Care (DPHPC) at the University of Cambridge wishes to appoint to a major academic leadership role tenured to the retiring age: the Professor of Cardiovascular Ageing.

Key requirements: A medically-qualified scientist with a distinguished track-record in population health sciences research (e.g. epidemiology, public health, primary care and/or health services research) applied to the broad area of ageing and cardiovascular research who can engage with Cambridge's major existing strengths in cardiovascular science.

Academic environment: The Professor will benefit from an outstanding academic environment, including: DPHPC, one of Europe's leading university departments of population health sciences, which will host the Professor; the new £60m multidisciplinary Cambridge Heart and Lung Research Institute (due to open in 2022), which will accommodate the Professor; and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, Europe's largest centre for health sciences and medical research.

Responsibilities: The Professor will be expected to establish and lead programmes of research relevant to the understanding, prevention, treatment, and/or control of important ageing-related cardiovascular conditions. They will also be expected to contribute to DPHPC's educational mission, and to the leadership of the department as a senior academic "good citizen".

Resources: A salary and a research start-up package will be negotiated at the time when the Professor has been elected. The Professor will also be provided other support to help get established, including access to: data and samples from leading population health studies and consortia; an environment of outstanding graduate students and post-doctoral scientists; administrative support and professional services; research networks; a highly collegial environment.
