Cancer Research Opportunities at the University of Cambridge

The University of Cambridge is offering fully-funded MRes + PhD studentships in Cancer Biology as part of the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Cambridge Centre. This innovative programme is designed to provide postgraduate students with a broad understanding of both the basic biology and clinical management of cancer.

Programme Overview

The MRes + PhD programme is a four-year fully-funded opportunity that includes:

  • A one-year MRes degree with two research rotations, a weekly lecture series, and a one- to two-week placement in a patient-facing setting.
  • A fully-funded three-year PhD, usually in one of the rotation project host laboratories, allowing in-depth study of a particular area of cancer biology.
Funding and Support

The CRUK Cambridge Centre MRes + PhD studentships include full funding from Cancer Research UK to cover the University Composition Fee, a travel and consumables budget, and a stipend of £21,000 per annum.

Eligibility and Application

The programme is open to non-clinical applicants, and applications will be considered on a rolling basis. Short-listed applicants will be invited to interview, and the closing date for receipt of applications is 19 November 2024.

About the University

The University of Cambridge actively supports equality, diversity, and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
