Clinical Research Fellows

Cell & Molecular Biology of Cancer: Towards Novel Therapies


The Beatson Institute is engaged in a programme of world-class science directed towards understanding aspects of cancer cell growth, motility and survival, with a view to developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. We are now seeking applications from dynamic and highly motivated clinicians in training (physicians, surgeons or pathologists) with GMC registration and membership of the relevant Royal College (such as MRCP, MRCS or MRCPath), good clinical and communication skills as well as an aptitude for research to apply for a clinical research training post leading to a higher degree. Applications from surgeons or pathologists would be of particular interest, although we would also consider promising candidates from other disciplines.

The post is available for three years from August 2010 and the salary will be set according to clinical experience, likely to be at ST1 to ST3 level. Under justified circumstances, there is the possibility of extension of the fellowship for a fourth year, which may be relevant to facilitate re-entry into clinical training. Successful applicants will be employed by the Beatson Institute for Cancer Research. The clinical research fellowship is designed to provide training for future academic clinicians in cancer research, and the successful candidates will be exposed to a wide range of cancer research skills and state-of-the-art technologies. The project and supervisor will be determined based on the applicant’s interests and expertise but an outline of the kind of work ongoing at the Institute can be found on our website. Appropriate honorary status will be sought from relevant clinical units within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
