Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute

Join us at the world-leading CRUK Cambridge Institute. We're a unique department of the University of Cambridge, core funded by Cancer Research UK's charitable activities, and we're eagerly searching for our new Junior Group Leader.

This post carries a significant package of support for five years in the first instance, equivalent to that of an investigator grant (approximately £2.5million over five years).

The primary role of this position is to develop and lead a translational research team focussed on: a) the understanding an area of cancer biology and/or b) the development of new therapies for these devastating diseases.

For this position, we're looking to nurture and support an early-career leader with a strong and exciting vision to pursue their new idea. Though we are open to applications in all areas of cancer discovery research, we do focus mainly on solid cancers. We would especially welcome applications that complement the interests of our faculty, establish new connections to strong clinical programs in Cambridge, or in emerging areas, such as the use of AI/ML in cancer discovery research. Proposed research programmes relating to prostate cancers and lung cancers could be highly desirable.
