Post-doctoral Training Fellow, Target Validation & DNA Damage Response team



    The Breast Cancer Now Toby Robins Research Centre at the ICR is the first centre in the UK entirely devoted to breast cancer research. Our goal is to advance research into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. It is located in state-of-the-art laboratory space, with excellent core facilities and funding.

    Professor Tutt is the Head of the Breast Cancer Research Division at the ICR and has interests in therapy development for BRCA1/2 associated and “triple negative” (TN) forms of breast cancer. His laboratories at ICR and King’s College London (KCL) have contributed highly to the field (For example, Tutt et al. Nature Medicine 2018; Watkins et al. Cancer Discovery 2015). Working in close partnership with Professor Chris Lord a major focus of the lab is using information from patients being treated in the clinic to identify determinants of PARPi resistance and sensitivity.

    A Post Doctoral Training Fellow position is available to start immediately to drive forward high-level research on DNA damage repair biology and cancer target validation. The majority of the projects focus on developing novel therapeutic approaches to cancer and identifying biomarkers and relevant targets in breast cancer underlying the biology of the disease.

    You will be responsible for the design and implementation of a project aimed at establishing new therapeutical approaches to TN and BRCA1/2 associated forms of breast cancer, based on DNA damage response and target validation studies.

    You must possess a PhD in biology, genetics or other associated subjects and have a strong track record in biomedical research as demonstrated by high-impact, first author publications. Considerable experience in cell and molecular biology as well as DNA repair is essential, together with an understanding of DNA Damage Repair biology.

    This position is offered on a fixed term 3 year contract. Starting salary is in the range of £38,607 (£32,844 for a pre-viva new starter) to £40,902 per annum inclusive based on previous postdoctoral experience.

    To apply please submit an application online on the ICR Careers site, attaching your CV with the supporting statement (addressing with specific examples where you meet the person specification, a brief description of your relevant experience and incl. the names and addresses of at least two referees).
