Fellowships
The ICR is keen to support strong candidates in applying for externally funded clinical or non-clinical Career Development Fellowships of four years or more in duration, to work within the three core themes of the ICR scientific strategy:
- Therapeutic Development
- Molecular Pathology
- Genetics and Epidemiology
We are particularly interested in increasing activity in the areas of:
- Molecular pathology
- Computational biology and genomics
- Functional imaging (especially PET) as related to cancer
- Cancer genetics
- Tumour biology
- Structural biology
Excellent candidates in other areas relevant to the core themes of the ICR scientific strategy will also be considered.
Scientific Divisions
The ICR is organised into eight Scientific Divisions:
Breast Cancer Research - Professor Clare Isacke
Cancer Biology - Professor Chris Marshall FRS
Cancer Therapeutics - Professor Paul Workman
Clinical Studies - Professor Stan Kaye
Genetics and Epidemiology - Professor Nazneen Rahman
Molecular Pathology - Professor Alan Ashworth
Radiotherapy and Imaging - Professor Alan Horwich
Structural Biology - Professor David Barford and Professor Dale Wigley
Candidates who wish to apply for external Fellowships should contact the relevant Division Head.
Application process
Once the proposed research has been discussed and agreed with the Division Head, candidates will need to submit a one-page outline of their proposal and their full CV for consideration by the Research Directorate. The Division Head will provide a letter of support.
The Research Directorate will meet to consider which proposals will be supported by the ICR for submission of a full application. Candidates should ensure that they allow sufficient time before the funding body submission date for their proposal to be considered by the Directorate, and for a full submission to be developed.
If the Research Directorate agrees to support a submission the candidate will be assisted in the application process. Applicants invited for interview by the funding body will be provided with pre-interview advice, including mock interviews and an audience to comment on presentations.
Further information
Candidates successful in obtaining external Fellowship funding will be appointed to Career Development or Institute Fellow positions at the ICR, and will be provided with high quality laboratory space and access to a wide range of state-of-the-art research facilities. Additional funding may be available in certain circumstances.
