Candidates must have prior experience working within a laboratory environment, as demonstrated via a relevant undergraduate degree or previous employment.

Department/Directorate Information

The post will be situated within the Division of Genetic and Epidemiology in the laboratory of Professor Clare Turnbull (Translational Genetics Team), which comprises post-doctoral scientists, bioinformaticians and students involved in a range of analytical projects relating to Cancer Genomics. As well as a team focussed on translational cancer genetics clinical research projects, consisting of a genetic counsellor, research nurse, and research administrator.
