Early Career Group Leaders – Francis Crick Institute London
Posted by James Briscoe, on 13 October 2016
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
The Francis Crick Institute is a new discovery biomedical research institute in central London. We are core-funded by Cancer Research UK, the UK Medical Research Council, and the Wellcome Trust and partnered by Imperial College, King’s College and University College London.
We are recruiting enthusiastic and motivated early career researchers who wish to set up their first independent research programme at the Crick in any area of biomedicine. We welcome applications from those who wish to work on a flexible and/or part-time basis.
Successful candidates will be offered a competitive salary with a 6-year contract, renewable once for a total of 12 years. The institute will provide fully equipped laboratory space and access to core-funded state-of-the-art technology facilities. Salaries and consumables for around five people, including graduate students, will be provided. Research groups will have the opportunity to expand further based on external grants.
The Crick will provide mentoring and support to ensure its early career Group Leaders make the most of their time at the institute and develop a world-class research programme. Towards the end of the 12-year period we will support them to find leadership positions elsewhere, with potential for a transition start-up package for those remaining in the UK.
