Cancer Research Opportunities for Black Leaders

The University of Cambridge is pleased to offer a fully-funded MRes + PhD programme in cancer research for students from Black heritage backgrounds. This programme is designed to provide a comprehensive education and research experience in cancer biology, with a focus on developing the next generation of Black leaders in cancer research.

Programme Overview

The programme is open to applicants who self-identify as being from a Black heritage background, including a mixed background. The programme includes a one-year MRes degree, followed by a fully-funded three-year PhD. The MRes degree comprises two research rotations, a weekly lecture series, and a one- to two-week placement in a patient-facing setting. Successful completion of the MRes programme will lead to a fully-funded PhD, usually in one of the rotation project host laboratories.

Funding and Support

The programme includes 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. The programme also provides a comprehensive programme of mentoring, career support, leadership training, and networking led by the Windsor Fellowship and Black in Cancer.

How to Apply

Express your interest to the Windsor Fellowship and apply through the University of Cambridge Postgraduate Portal. The closing date for receipt of applications is 19 November 2024. Short-listed applicants will be invited to interview week commencing 6 January 2025.
