The University has selected cancer as one of its strategic research initiatives, highlighting the paramount and timely importance of cancer research. Recent progress has resulted in optimism among researchers who believe that at last many scientific findings can lead to real benefits for patients.

Graduate students play a pivotal role in the continuing success of research in Cambridge and gaining a studentship in Cambridge is an excellent opportunity to start a research career in an environment committed to training outstanding cancer research scientists of the future.

We seek highly motivated and talented students to enter our PhD programmes and to join stimulating research projects starting in October 2015. In addition to excellent research facilities, collaborative initiatives, and the resources in their host Departments and Institutes, students will have access to a wide range of talks, courses, and other activities organised across the University.

Application deadline is November 30, 2014
