Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading cancer charity, dedicated to saving and improving lives through research, influence and information. Its vision is a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
We’re delighted to partner with the Daphne Jackson Trust and Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute on these fellowships, to enable talented researchers to return to cancer research following a career break. This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse research community – essential to driving impactful science and progress for patients.“
Dr. Shewly Choudhury, Head of Research Careers and Culture, Cancer Research UK
The part-time fellowships are open to people who want to return to research after a career break of at least two years to carry out research focused on understanding the mechanisms that regulate cancer cell proliferation, survival and dissemination. Applicants from a range of disciplines are welcome to apply, for example including computational as well as biomedical scientists.
The Daphne Jackson Trust Fellowship scheme provides an outstanding opportunity for researchers returning to academia, offering the support, flexibility and confidence needed to rebuild a successful scientific career. Partnering with the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute creates an exceptional environment for fellows to thrive, combining world-class research expertise with a genuinely supportive and collaborative culture.”
