About Us: The Francis Crick Institute (the Crick) is a research institute dedicated to discovering the fundamental biology underlying human health, with the aim of improving the treatment, diagnosis and prevention of human disease. The Crick was formed on 1 April 2015 and is a registered charity. It is a partnership between the Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK (CRUK), the Welcome Trust, University College London (UCL), Imperial College London and King’s College London. The institute will be a world-leading centre of biomedical research and innovation, with the scale, vision and expertise to tackle the most challenging scientific questions underpinning health and disease. It will have a strong national role, training scientists and developing ideas for public good. From the second half of 2016, the Crick will be located in a new, purpose-built research centre in central London (next to St Pancras International), housing some 1,250 researchers and 250 support staff. Please note: all offers of employment are subject to successful security screening and continuous eligibility to work in the United Kingdom.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
