Join the cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) research group - a collaboration between the Schools of Clinical Dentistry and Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sheffield lead by Professors Craig Murdoch and Rob Short. This role offers an opportunity to work in the commercialisation space across cancer biology and physical chemistry to undertake proof-of-market research to identify the potential for CAP as a novel treatment for head and neck cancer.

You’ll be part of a dynamic, supportive, and forward-thinking research environment committed to making real clinical impact through innovation in cancer treatment and personalised medicine.

Your role will be to undertake proof-or-market research to establish potential markets and clinical needs for CAP anti-cancer therapy.
