The Wellcome Trust – Medical Research Council Cambridge Stem Cell Institute is founded on the belief that deep understanding of stem cell biology will be transformative for future healthcare http://www.stemcells.cam.ac.uk
The Institute is seeking clinician scientists at both junior and senior level to complement our existing programmes and contribute to translating ground-breaking developments in stem cell science into better management of malignancies and new regenerative medicines. Applications in any area of medicine are welcome, although we are particularly interested in expanding our translational programmes in haematology, neurology, orthopaedics, cardiovascular medicine and oncology.
Junior candidates will have a PhD and preferably a minimum of 1 year post-doctoral experience, original research achievements, and an exceptional project proposal.

Successful candidates will be supported to obtain external personal fellowship and grant support within 1-2 years. Start-up packages are available according to circumstances.
