Our next big discovery could be you
Weâre searching for the brightest minds in cancer research      Â
The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is one of the worldâs most influential cancer research institutes. We provided the first convincing evidence that DNA damage is the basic cause of cancer, laying the foundation for the now universally accepted idea that cancer is a genetic disease. Today, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) leads the world at isolating cancer-related genes and discovering new targeted drugs for personalised cancer treatment. We are committed to attracting and developing the best minds in the world to join us in our mission â to make the discoveries that defeat cancer.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates or final year undergraduates who hold or expect to gain a first/upper second class honours degree or equivalent. Successful candidates will undertake a four year research training programme under the guidance of named supervisors and will receive an annual stipend â the stipend is currently £21,000.
Two of these research projects will be recipients of ICR Chairmanâs Studentship Awards. Five will be funded by the Cancer Research UK Centre â a strategic partnership between Cancer Research UK, the ICR and The Royal Marsden â which aims to enhance translational research.
