About the role:

In this fixed term role, the role holder will join the cancer research team led by Professor Nigel Mongan where you will contribute to a range of research, teaching and administrative tasks. Depending on the track record of the successful candidate, the role holder will be recruited into a postdoctoral research fellow (level 4) or Assistant Professor (level 5) role within the team. You will bring expertise in cancer research, with a specialist focus on mechanisms of gene regulation and RNA methylation/biology. You will provide project development, leadership, and management skills to ensure the successful planning, development, and delivery of the team’s existing and new projects including the CRUK SAMBAI Cancer Grand Challenge and other funded prostate cancer research projects. The role holder will also have a prominent role in our team’s engagement with our pharma-partners and building capacity in cancer precision medicine with international partners. This is a full time (36.25 hours per week), fixed term role for three years initially. This would appeal to candidates who also wish to join our team’s ongoing projects and develop research aligned to the team’s goals and gain teaching experience, particularly at postgraduate level, and are seeking a mentored transition to academic independence through securing external funding including fellowships (as PI) and grants (as CoI) in an ambitious, supportive and productive environment.
