Image Analyst

The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine is seeking an experienced Image Analyst to support the delivery of a major phase II clinical trial through expert analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging data within the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine (CVM), University of Oxford. CVM is renowned for excellence in translational and clinical cardiovascular research, delivering innovative studies that improve patient care and outcomes worldwide.

As Image Analyst, you will be responsible for high-quality, reproducible quantitative and qualitative analysis of trial CMR scans, contributing directly to the trial's primary and secondary imaging endpoints. In addition to primary trial responsibilities, you will contribute to the wider CMR research and analysis activities at OCMR, supporting image quality assurance, methodology development and the training of junior analysts and trainees.

This opportunity is particularly suited to candidates with extensive experience in CMR analysis and a strong background in imaging core lab operations. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrable track record of accurate, audit-ready image analysis, familiarity with standardised CMR reporting frameworks, and the ability to work to tight timelines on regulated trial work. Previous cardiac MRI analysis experience and previous imaging core lab experience are strongly preferred.

Full training will be provided in specialist aspects of the role, including cardiac magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and other advanced techniques specific to the trial. Candidates do not need prior experience in spectroscopy to apply, but must demonstrate the analytical aptitude and willingness to develop expertise in these areas.

This is a full-time appointment on a fixed-term contract to 31st May 2029. The Fellows will be based at the Oxford Centre for Clinical Magnetic Resonance Research (OCMR), John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford OX3 9DU. We are seeking candidates who are ideally available to start as soon as possible to support the commencement of the clinical trial.
