The Division of Cardiology at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute seeks a full-time Heart Failure / Transplant Cardiologist. The candidate would fulfill a clinical and academic role as either a clinician-educator or a clinician-investigator.

The University of Ottawa Heart Institute has one of the most dynamic advanced heart disease programs in Canada with a dedicated heart failure service, pulmonary hypertension clinic and an active transplant and mechanical circulatory support program with over 500 transplants and 100 devices in the last 20 years. We currently perform approximately 25-35 transplants and 10-15 MCS procedures per year. A wide variety of research opportunities exists in clinical and basic science including clinical trials, mechanistic studies, integrated research with biomarkers and imaging, proteomics and genomics.  Educational opportunities include a heart failure fellowship program and one of the leading cardiology training programs in Canada.

The University of Ottawa Heart Institute is a large tertiary academic centre providing cardiovascular care to Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. 

Candidates must hold their FRCPC in Internal Medicine with subspecialty certification in Cardiology or equivalent and have had training in heart failure with experience in transplant and mechanical circulatory support (MCS).
