Independent Clinical Fellow (Sponsorship) (Fixed Term)

In addition to hosting your research group, our unique programme provides substantial additional support (£50k per year) for use in our state-of-the-art core facilities, administrative support and critical input during your application process and for the duration of the fellowship, as well as mentorship from a diverse world-class faculty of cancer researchers. Your independent group will be provided with generous bench and write-up space in an institution with outstanding research infrastructure and a lively scientific community., Independent Clinical Fellows will be supported to start their group with the aim of making the transition to a Group Leader or senior academic position either within or outside the institute. Fellows will be guaranteed support for the duration of their fellowship (totalling £250k over five years) but will be encouraged to make this transition in the early phase of their appointment. The institute has a strong track record in training clinician scientists including current members of our faculty, and hosts clinicians in receipt of external intermediate fellowship funding., Any offers made will ultimately be conditional upon the successful award of a CRUK Advanced Clinician Scientist Fellowship, or equivalent.

The deadline for application is rolling, but bear in mind the time needed for decisions ahead of each fellowship deadline.

Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a basic disclosure (criminal records check) check and a security check. This appointment also requires a Research Passport application and an Honorary Clinical Contract.

Cambridge abounds with opportunities for collaboration. Our faculty spans basic cancer biology, genomics, chemical biology, imaging, and computational biology. We regularly host symposia and seminars that include world leaders in cancer biology research. The institute is sited within walking distance of Addenbrookes hospital and is part of the larger Biomedical Research Campus that boasts Astra-Zeneca's world headquarters, and the MRC LMB among its constituents.
