Cancer Research UK Clinical Research Training Fellowship: Developing single cell resolution 3D models of gastro-intestinal cancer

This position will offer a high quality basic science and translational research experience to a suitably motivated individual who seeks to combine a clinical career in gastroenterology or gastro-intestinal pathology with scientific research. The post should enable the clinical research fellow to obtain a widely varied laboratory based experience and generate sufficient original research to submit a PhD upon completion. It is anticipated that the trainee will present their findings at regional and international meetings, and submit original research for peer-reviewed publication.

It is expected that the post holder will continue with some clinical commitment during the funding period, though clinical work should not exceed 1 Programmed Activity (PA) equivalent per week.

The primary supervisors will be Prof Adrienne M Flanagan and Dr M Jansen. The research project aims to develop single cell resolution 3D models of gastro-intestinal cancer, in particular micro-satellite instable colorectal cancer.

The successful applicant should hold full GMC registration and possess membership of the Royal College of Physicians or equivalent. The applicant will also have a Medical degree and a completed core medical training or equivalent. The postholder will be undertaking or have completed higher specialist training in Histopathology or Gastroenterology.
