You will hold a medical degree (MB ChB or equivalent) and relevant PhD or a medical doctorate, with a prior high impact publication record in the field or other relevant fields. Specialist knowledge in myeloid malignancy, haemopoiesis and analysis of murine models of haemopoiesis, together with computational experience, will be essential.
