Build your cancer research team at Sheffield
Welcome
At the University of Sheffield, we are entering a very exciting period for cancer research. Our pioneering work discovered the role of Lynparza (Olaparib) for the treatment of tumours with imperfect DNA repair.
This is now saving lives all around the world and has provided us with unprecedented multi-million-pound funding to pursue our ambition for a new Cancer Research Centre at Sheffield to address the biggest challenges in cancer.
Juliet Jukes of GatenbySanderson talks about the appointment of cancer research leaders with Professor Jim Catto, NIHR Research Professor, Professor of Urological Surgery at the University of Sheffield and an Honorary Consultant Urological Surgeon at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
We are seeking ambitious cancer research leaders to come and help build a future where more people with cancer are cured or live longer, with improved quality of life, thanks to the research we do here at Sheffield.
In collaboration with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, we are recruiting high-performing researchers across different oncology specialities. We are looking to recruit 5 or more individuals and can accommodate a wide range of interests due to our large patient population.
If your expertise is in one of the following areas then we are particularly interested in speaking to you:
Neuro-oncology
either a medical, clinical or surgical oncologist
Neuro-oncology
either a medical, clinical or surgical oncologist
Surgical oncology
either a thoracic, gastrointestinal or genitourinary (inc. urological) surgeon
Academic oncology
with expertise in either medical or clinical oncology for common cancers
GP with special interest in oncology
particularly around lung, urology, GI tract
Epidemiology
with a cancer focus
Cancer research trials
with either early or late phase expertise in cancer research
We are focusing on a clinical and translational approach to healthcare research that is directly relevant to the cancers that most affect our population. Our approach is data driven, working towards a platform of multimodal cancer research and treatment. We have established five inter-related themes of research that address cancer research from prevention to screening, diagnosis, treatment, follow up, digital health, palliation, survival and quality of life.
This is a tremendous opportunity to drive forward our tradition of excellence in clinical research for the benefit of all our communities. I encourage you to talk to me to find out more.
