Job Description:
Job Title: Biologist (Tumour Biology & Metastasis Team)
Closing Date of vacancy: 20 November 2014
Division: Cancer Therapeutics
Team: Tumour Biology & Metastasis
Type of Contract: Fixed Term
Length of Contract: 1 year
Salary Range: £22,149 to £30,101
Work Location: Sutton (Surrey)
Hours per week: 35
The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is one of the world’s most influential cancer research institutes, with an outstanding record of achievement dating back more than 100 years. We provided the first convincing evidence that DNA damage is the basic cause of cancer, laying the foundation for the now universally accepted idea that cancer is a genetic disease. Today, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) leads the world at isolating cancer-related genes and discovering new targeted drugs for personalised cancer treatment. Under the leadership of our Interim Chief Executive, Professor Paul Workman FMedSci, the ICR is ranked as the UK’s leading academic research centre. Together with our partner The Royal Marsden, we are rated in the top four cancer centres globally. The ICR is committed to attracting, developing and retaining the best minds in the world to join us in our mission – to make the discoveries that defeat cancer.
The Cancer Research UK Cancer Therapeutics Unit, within the Division of Cancer Therapeutics, is a multidisciplinary 'bench to bedside' centre, comprising around 160 staff dedicated to the discovery and development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The Cancer Therapeutics Unit’s exciting goal is to discover high quality drug candidates for validated biological targets and to progress these candidates to clinical trial. All the scientific disciplines are in place to make this possible, including medicinal chemistry, biology, drug metabolism and clinical specialists. This is an exciting and fast moving area of cancer research, and offers the opportunity to work within a multi-disciplinary environment using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment.
We have a vacancy for a meticulous cell biologist to work within the Tumour Biology and Metastasis Team to establish and maintain a dedicated Cell Bank to provide the Cancer Therapeutics Unit with well-validated and molecularly characterized human tumour cell lines for an exciting portfolio of targeted drug discovery projects. The successful applicant will be responsible for the sourcing and quality control of a comprehensive panel of cells. There will be ample opportunity to develop additional skills in 2D and 3D cell culture and data management, liaising with bioinformatics colleagues to maximize the potential of both established and patient-derived cell cultures. The post is within a multidisciplinary drug evaluation team in a highly translational environment covering basic research, drug discovery and clinical trials.
Applicants must have a first degree in a biological science or similar. Experience of sterile human cell culture techniques, cell banking or molecular biology techniques would be an advantage. Starting salary will be in the range £22,149 to £30,101 p.a. inclusive (based on previous experience). Appointment will be on a fixed term contract of 1 year in the first instance. Informal enquiries to sue.eccles@icr.ac.uk. Applications must be submitted via the ICR web site at www.icr.ac.uk.
