Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

We are recruiting an ambitious, self-motivated and experimentally talented Research Associate to join us in understanding the cancer cell plasticity in the context of breast cancer. The specific aims of the project are to understand how plasticity arises, how often cells switch states, what are the implications for the emergence of therapy resistant/quiescent cells and how we can control it.

Our University is positive about flexible working - you can find out more here
