About the role: We are recruiting an innovative, curious and highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to undertake translational research using circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) to better predict and understand the mechanism of relapse in lung cancers. This exciting liquid biopsy-focused project sits within the Rare Cells Team in the CRUK National Biomarker Centre (NBC) led by Dr Dominic G. Rothwell. The project is part of the CRUK funded TRACERx EVO programme that involves over 250 UK researchers, and aims to better understand lung cancer evolution and seeks to improve outcomes for patients.
About you: You will be a highly motivated, proactive problem solver who relishes a challenge and will develop independent ideas for project direction and delivery.
