Clinical Research Training Fellow (Fixed Term)

Applications are invited for Clinical Research Training Fellowships leading to a PhD. The Fellowships are available to medically-qualified individuals who are undertaking their specialist training in any clinical discipline, and who wish to obtain a PhD with a view to an academic career in any branch of cancer research. Eligibility to practice clinically within the UK is an essential qualification. Fellowships for 2025 are to be held in member research groups of the CRUK Cambridge Centre.

For details of the projects on offer within these Programmes, please see: https://crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/education-and-training/ccc-clinical-research-fellowships

Applicants will choose their preferred projects (first and second choices) and short-listed candidates will be invited to interview, at which their career intentions and preferred PhD project will be discussed.

CRUK Cambridge Centre Clinical Research Fellowships are financed by Cancer Research UK and provide clinicians with funds to cover a full-time, 3-year PhD degree. This includes a clinical salary, generous consumables and University Composition Fees at the Home rate. Overseas applicants may apply for these positions, and will usually be eligible to apply for the reduced staff University Composition Fee (UCF). This is one third of either the full- or part-time Home Student UCF, for all qualifying students, irrespective of whether they are classified as UK or Overseas. Successful international applicants would be required to apply for the reduced staff UCF via their host department, and if they are not eligible they may be required to self-fund the cost difference between Overseas and Home fees; this is approximately £28,980 per year for 3 years.

Award of the Fellowship is dependent on the successful applicant obtaining an offer of admission as a PhD student to the University of Cambridge.
