Benefits and culture

We offer a competitive salary, rigorous training, many opportunities for professional development, and an open and inclusive working culture. Our PostDoc Association, faculty and learning and development team work closely to support postdocs.

We also offer generous annual leave and family-friendly policies that support parents, including stop the clock, which supports maternity leave during research.

The best thing about working at the ICR is the close-knit family feeling, which improves collaborations and scientific discoveries.

Reimbursing your visa and other costs

Successful applicants will be able to claim the cost of their visa and of the immigration health surcharge (IHS) for themselves and for their dependants once they have joined. Applicants often find the UK visa application process to be less onerous than for some other countries, such as the United States.
