The School of Cancer Sciences is seeking to appoint a Professor to take a senior leadership role by conducting internationally-leading research in the area of translational cancer immunology by delivering research-led education and demonstrating excellence in teaching that supports the strategic objectives and priorities of the School/College in line with the University’s ambitions.

You will provide scientific strategy and direction for translational biomarker research, including as applied to clinical trials as well as providing leadership and strategic direction for translational research, including biomarker studies, for the Glasgow Adult Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC), and the Glasgow CR-UK Biomarkers Hub, in collaboration with the CR-UK Scotland Centre. 

The School of Cancer Sciences (SCS) is part of the College of Medical, Veterinary, & Life Sciences at the University of Glasgow and carries out world-leading research on the molecular basis of cancer and how this can be exploited therapeutically. In partnership with the CR-UK Beatson Institute, the School has 51 research groups in state-of-the-art research buildings with technologies that underpin our key research themes, providing excellent facilities for an expanded programme of translational cancer research in Glasgow.

The School is a major partner in the CR-UK Scotland Centre that receives £12 million from CR-UK between Glasgow and Edinburgh in the current quinquennium (2022-2027). The Glasgow Adult ECMC (£2.23 million; 2023-2028) is a partnership between the University of Glasgow and NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and is the pathway to clinical development and delivery of novel discoveries emerging from our basic science and pre-clinical research programmes within the broader Glasgow cancer research environment, including the CR-UK Scotland Centre and the Glasgow CR-UK RadNet Centre. Together, the Centre and the ECMC develop, lead, and deliver non-commercial clinical studies through exploiting the exceptional discovery science within Glasgow. These will include energetic stress, autophagy, and metabolism; understanding and exploiting innate immunity in cancer; and supported by unique strengths in model systems (organoid and complex genetically-engineered murine models of cancer based on genomically profiled human cancers).

Applications are invited from candidates with a Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework level 12 (PhD) in a relevant cancer sciences discipline, for example, cancer biology, immunology, or pharmacology.
