Clinical Research Fellow in Radiotherapy on cancer evolution

Clinical Research Fellow in Radiotherapy on cancer evolution

The CRUK City of London Radiation Research Centre (CoL RRC) in the department of Medical Physics and biomedical Engineering at UCL is a Cancer Research UK (CRUK) funded centre. The Centre features an ambitious research programme for radiation oncology and radiation biology. The network, Cancer Research UK RadNet, is the charity’s largest ever investment in radiotherapy research and accelerates the development of advanced radiotherapy techniques, challenging the boundaries of this mainstay treatment through world-first exploratory projects.

The Centre is a world‑class hub for cancer biotherapeutics. It brings together researchers from four of the central London Cancer Research UK centres: University College London, Kings College London, Barts / Queen Mary University of London and the Francis Crick Institute. This unique interdisciplinary and collaborative network generates novel innovative therapies, diagnostics and stratification strategies in addition to providing a clinical and translational pipeline for cancer discovery science. This post is funded as part of a CoL Radiation Research Centre programme grant.
