Be part of something brilliant [5.77MB]
The European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute is a multi-million pound flagship Institute with a vision to establish itself as an international leader in the field of cancer stem cell research. The ultimate aim will be to develop new cancer therapies which will make a real difference to the lives of patients.
Led by Professor Alan Clarke, and housed in cutting-edge facilities in the University's new Hadyn Ellis building, we are seeking Research Fellows, Lecturers and Senior Lecturers to join our existing teams.
Appointees will provide a mix of established stellar cancer researchers plus those with demonstrable potential to become the next generation of internationally renowned cancer stem cell researchers. They will work with existing world-leading teams in basic biomedical science, genetic, drug development and clinical trials, creating a UK hub which will be the European centre for cancer stem cell research. The initial task will be to improve understanding of cancer stem cells and the role they play in a range of cancers. From there it is hoped to develop new therapies which can be shown to make a real difference in the clinic. Ultimately, the aim is to transform the survival rates for patients suffering from all types of cancer.

Clinical Scientist Training/ Work Placements
A part of our vision will be to build a strong bridge between fundamental scientific investigation of cancer stem cells and the application of this knowledge for the treatment of disease. In the laboratories and clinics linked to The European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute, there maybe the opportunity for work placements.
At the current time no placements are available, but as more details become available they will be updated on this page.
