Career development faculty

We are seeking excellent early-career researchers on the path to independence to become team leaders in a cutting-edge area of cancer research.

Who we're looking for

To join our career development faculty, you'll be a scientist who had excelled as a postdoc, has a very strong publishing and funding record, and is beginning to pursue independent research programmes. You'll be a strong team scientists, bringing fresh expertise in innovative areas.

The career development faculty is the route generally taken for new leaders in areas in which the ICR is making significant investment. Often these are in cutting-edge areas of cancer research, such as immunotherapy, or disciplines from outside ‘traditional’ biological sciences. 

What we offer

Joining as a team leader, you will be given outstanding support to help you to continue to develop in your career. You’ll receive a competitive start-up package of funding, as well as the guidance you need to start up your first lab – from lab space and equipment, to help recruiting postdoctoral students, technicians and PhD students.

You’ll have the space to grow, excel and make your mark while gaining dedicated support with grant applications, leadership training.

We support our scientists with state-of-the-art platform technologies and expert facilities staff, providing cutting-edge facilities for microscopy, imaging, sequencing, proteomics, X-ray crystallography and much more.
