    Description

    Job summary

    Pulmonary hypertension ("high blood pressure in the lungs") is a pathophysiological disorder that may involve multiple clinical conditions and can complicate most cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is always associated with a significant morbidity burden and increased mortality.

    As Clinical Research Fellow, you will undertake a research project in the field of pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic lung disease (Group 3 PH). The key research project will relate to the build of a national registry for Group 3 PH. It will involve ethical submission for the project, build of a database and coordination of collection of data from the national PH centres. It is envisaged that there will be time for analysis of data which ideally would be part of a higher degree (but not necessary) as well as being involved in other related research projects. There will be opportunity for clinical experience if desired, but this is primarily a research post.
