Description

About the role
Join the dynamic team led by Professor Geoff Higgins in the Department of Oncology at the University of Oxford.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a driven individual to contribute to groundbreaking research aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of radiotherapy treatments.


Our focus lies in developing innovative approaches to sensitize tumor cells to radiotherapy, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes while minimizing side effects.

As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will spearhead your own project within our broader research program.


The post will be based at the Old Road Campus Research Building, Roosevelt Drive, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7DQ, and is offered full-time, fixed-term until 31st October 2025 in the first instance.


About you


You will demonstrate the ability to independently plan, develop, and manage a research project, contributing innovative ideas for new research projects and generating research income.

Your excellent communication skills will enable you to write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.

Additionally, your track record of first-author publications in scientific journals and experience in supervising students and less experienced lab members will be invaluable.


In addition to the essential qualifications, desirable attributes include a strong background in radiation biology and DNA repair mechanisms, previous experience working with mouse in vivo models, and knowledge in target discovery and drug development.
