Join to apply for the Clinical Research Training Fellow x 3 (Fixed Term) role at Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy
Applications are invited for Clinical Research Training Fellowships leading to a PhD. The Fellowships are available to medically qualified individuals who are undertaking their specialist training in any clinical discipline, and who wish to obtain a PhD with a view to an academic career in any branch of cancer research. Eligibility to practice clinically within the UK is an essential qualification.
CRUK Cambridge Centre Clinical Research Fellowships are financed by Cancer Research UK and provide clinicians with funds to cover a full-time, 3-year PhD degree. The fellowship includes a clinical salary, generous consumables and University Composition Fees at the Home rate. Overseas applicants may apply for these positions and will usually be eligible to apply for a reduced staff University Composition Fee (UCF).
Successful international applicants would be required to apply for the reduced staff UCF via their host department. If they are not eligible, they may be required to self-fund the cost difference between Overseas and Home fees; this is approximately £27,600 per year for 3 years.
Award of the Fellowship is dependent on the successful applicant obtaining an offer of admission as a PhD student to the University of Cambridge.
