Support for career development awards/fellowships at the 果冻影院 Cancer Institute聽

This procedure applies to internal and external candidates.

The UK has a flourishing landscape of Career Development Awards/Fellowships for talented junior scientists to set up their independent research laboratories. Theses include awards from UKRI, ERC, the Welcome Trust, Cancer Research UK, the Royal Society and many other organisations.

The 果冻影院 Cancer Institute has been very successful in supporting scientists for such awards, providing a welcoming environment, extensive help for preparation of proposals, mock interviews and administrative support. Many of our fellows have also gone on to tenured positions.聽

If you are interested in exploring the Cancer Institute and 果冻影院 as your Host Institution, please submit a copy of your CV, a summary of future plans, and a brief explanation of why you would like to be hosted at the Cancer Institute during your early career award/fellowship to CI.ECRhost.enquiries@ucl.ac.uk at least聽3 months before the application deadline of granting bodies.

A selection committee, made up of at least聽three representatives with appropriate expertise within the Institute will review and discuss your proposal and make a recommendation as to whether the applicant is shortlisted. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to visit the Cancer Institute for a presentation to Faculty, with practical details to be provided at the time of shortlisting.聽
