BACKGROUND

The School of Medicine at Cardiff University seek to appoint two Research Fellows in Cancer Bioinformatics to join the Division of Cancer and Genetics (DCG), working in the area of Precision and Mechanistic Oncology. The successful candidates will be dynamic individuals seeking to develop an independent programme of research aligned to the existing research strengths within the DCG. By developing novel bioinformatic based analytical pipelines for the interrogation of complex genomic data, and analysing large genomic datasets, the postholders will investigate the underlying mechanisms of tumorigenesis. It is anticipated that this work will lead to translational and clinical research activity, that could result in the development of clinical tools for precision medicine. The postholders will be expected to develop cross cutting collaborative links across the Cardiff University cancer research theme, developing competitive research proposals and building research capacity to support Precision and Mechanistic Oncology research – a key area of strength highlighted for support through the recent Cancer Research Strategy for Wales document. The postholders will actively contribute towards the delivery of the aims and objectives highlighted in this document.

The successful applicants will have a growing national reputation within the academic field, an excellent record of high-quality research, and the enthusiasm and drive to play a key role in enhancing the School's reputation for impactful research and community engagement.

In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, clinical medicine at Cardiff – which includes the Division of Cancer and Genetics – was ranked as 92% of its research activity being world-leading or internationally excellent.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Research:

To independently develop research objectives that utilise genomic technologies to address fundamental questions in the area of precision and mechanistic oncology and to develop these into projects or proposals for own or joint research including research funding acting as a PI as required. To develop research networks through regular national/international conference/seminar presentations.
To generate and pursue independent and original research ideas in the field of precision and mechanistic oncology and support the initiation of new lines of research in related areas.
To disseminate research findings using appropriate and effective national and international publications, research seminars, meetings and conferences.
To build and create networks both internally and externally to the university, to influence decisions, explore future research requirements, and share research ideas for the benefit of research projects.
To supervise and develop other research staff within own research projects.
To provide guidance to students in own specialist area, including supervising and assessing undergraduate projects.
To participate in School research activities.

Other:
