To encourage an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to cancer research, the Cambridge Cancer Centre is offering 4 Clinical Research Fellowships to commence in October 2015.
The Clinical Research Fellowship scheme forms part of the Cambridge Cancer Centre’s ‘Integrated Academic Training Programme’, as defined by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
This means that training is tailored to equip translational scientists with the skills and experience they need to progress in their combined research and clinical careers.
Cambridge Cancer 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 and University and College fees at the ‘UK/EU’ rate (overseas applicants may apply, but would be required to self-fund the cost difference between Overseas and UK/EU fees; this is approximately £15,700 per year for 3 years).
Our Clinical research Fellows are registered as students of the University of Cambridge and also hold an honorary contract with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. They are based in a variety of environments, such as University of Cambridge Departments, various sites on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and well known research institutes within Cambridge.
By being part of the Cambridge Cancer Centre, Clinical Research Fellows will have the potential to work with outstanding clinicians and academics; develop collaborations with pharmaceutical and biotech companies; have access to state-of-the art research facilities; and the opportunity to attend numerous lecture series, workshops and meetings aimed at facilitating and strengthening collaborations between different disciplines and across different departments and institutes.
