Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
The Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute is a joint venture between the Charity, Cancer Research UK, and the University of Cambridge. The Institute opened in 2007 and has excellent state-of-the-art facilities. Research ranges from basic cancer biology and computational biology through to translational research and clinical application.
Graduate students play pivotal roles in the continuing success of our research programmes and gaining a studentship in the Institute is an excellent opportunity to start a research career in an environment committed to training outstanding cancer research scientists of the future.
A Cancer Research UK-funded studentship is available for study of the following project.
Our group develops methods for analysing and integrating data from –omics and microscopy technologies. Among the areas on which we focus are single-cell methods, cancer evolution including heterogeneity, statistical methods for assessing dependence, and analysis of next-gen sequencing experiments. We have strong collaborations with members of the CI and other research groups around Cambridge. We offer a great research environment to students with strong backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, or statistics. Programming experience and knowledge of R is an advantage.
