Group Leader – Cancer Biology
We are seeking to appoint two Group Leaders in Cancer Biology to join the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at the University of Oxford.
Overview
As a Group Leader you will develop an effective, productive research group, supervise postgraduate researchers and graduate students, attract external funding, and form productive collaborations.
Benefit from a core funded budget to establish a small research group, and receive mentorship from senior group leaders within the Ludwig Institute and the wider Oxford community.
Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Old Road Campus Research Building, Roosevelt Drive, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7DQ.
Responsibilities
• Develop an effective and productive research group.
• Supervise postgraduate researchers and graduate students.
• Attract external funding and form productive collaborations.
• Use core funded budget to establish a small research group.
Qualifications
• Relevant PhD/DPhil with significant postgraduate research experience.
• Established international reputation with a first‑author publication record.
• Future research plan that is complementary to the Ludwig Institute's research themes and aims.
• Demonstrable specialist knowledge in cancer, genetics, epigenetics, and cancer cell biology.
Research Focus and Collaboration
The Oxford branch has particular expertise in epigenetics and the development of novel technologies. We are especially interested in growing our expertise in epitranscriptomics, RNA biology, single‑cell/spatial approaches, microenvironment, and structural epigenetics, although we are open to other areas.
We encourage cross‑disciplinary science that brings together different approaches, including close collaboration between basic scientists and clinical colleagues in the nearby cancer hospital.
