Lecturer in Cancer Biology

2 weeks ago

Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

Applications are invited for a full-time Lecturer in Cancer Biology in the Division of Cancer Sciences.

To develop next generation cancer research in Manchester, we aim to make five tenure-track appointments over the next five years. We are particularly interested in non-clinical, discovery scientists looking to form partnerships with existing clinical research teams. Indeed, our vision is a growing number of clinical/non-clinical partnerships to bring about transformative oncology research at the discovery/translational interface.

Our location adjacent to Europe’s largest single-site cancer hospital provides world-leading biobanking opportunities; we are therefore interested in individuals looking to establish ‘reverse translational’ pipelines to interrogate biological mechanisms, novel therapeutics, and biomarkers in patient-derived samples. You may not yet be focused on a specific cancer subtype, but you will have a vision for how your research could address key clinical questions in cancer, and you will be able to bring something new to Manchester, e.g., new technologies, ideas, and ways of working. You will be a future leader in your field, driving exciting research that enhances our strengths, and we will support you in the development of an independent and aspirational research programme. You will already appreciate that training the next generation is both important and rewarding, and we will provide opportunities to shape our undergraduate teaching programmes and postgraduate training pathways.

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