View All Vacancies
Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have an established background in Pulmonary Exercise Physiology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research-intensive Universities?

We are seeking to appoint a two-year postdoctoral research fellow to work on a funded multi-centre research project evaluating the impact of unexplained chronic cough on the ability to undertake activities of daily living and underpinning mechanisms associated with cough frequency post exercise.

You will be embedded within a vibrant and engaging multidisciplinary research group, working alongside an internationally recognised team of exercise physiologists and respiratory medicine academics based in the Faculty of Biological Sciences and Faculty of Medicine and Health . Alongside the core project, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to on-going studies across the pulmonary exercise physiology research group (led by Dr. Oliver Price ) and collaborate with external co-investigators based at Hull York Medical School , Kings College London and University College London .

To apply for this role, you must have a PhD (or be close to completion) in exercise / respiratory physiology or closely related discipline. You should also have prior experience of conducting pulmonary function, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and/or physical activity assessment in patient populations.
