Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

The University of Cambridge is seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to undertake a Clinical Research Training Fellowship leading to a PhD. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a team of esteemed researchers in a world-renowned institution.

Fellowships are available to medically-qualified individuals who are undertaking their specialist training in any clinical discipline. The ultimate goal of this fellowship is to obtain a PhD with a view to an academic career in cancer research. Eligibility to practice clinically within the UK is essential.

Applicants will choose their preferred projects (first and second choices) and short-listed candidates will be invited to interview. The interview panel will comprise Principal Investigators from the CRUK Cambridge Centre, and applicants will have the opportunity to visit the relevant Department(s) or Institute(s) for their selected project(s).

Fellowships typically start on 1 October and are expected to last for three years. A fixed-term contract will be offered, with the possibility of extension. This appointment requires an Honorary Clinical Contract, which will be issued by the University and the NHS Trust.

We strongly encourage informal interaction between short-listed candidates and the Principal Investigators and their laboratories before the formal interview. This will enable applicants to gain a deeper understanding of the research environment and make informed decisions about their project choices.

A competitive salary will be offered, commensurate with experience. Salary: £35,000 - £45,000 per annum. Benefits include access to world-class facilities, opportunities for professional development, and a supportive research environment.

The University actively supports equality, diversity, and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. All employees must be eligible to live and work in the UK.
