She is to stand down after deciding to seek the Labour nomination for the Kilmarnock and Loudon seat.
The seat is currently held by former Defence Secretary Des Browne, who is standing down at the next election.
Ms Jamieson, a former justice minister who was deputy leader of Labour in the Scottish Parliament from 2001 to last year, was health spokeswoman in the Labour shadow cabinet until October.
A reshuffle saw her replaced in that role by Jackie Baillie, while Ms Jamieson moved to the housing and regeneration portfolio.
The latest change was announced by Labour leader Iain Gray, who said the gap created by her departure would be filled by Mary Mulligan, who is already the housing spokeswoman, and by deputy Labour leader Johann Lamont, who is the equalities spokeswoman.
Meanwhile Ms Lamont will step down from her chief of staff role, which will be filled by Paul Martin.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
