This post offers the opportunity to gain experience in cancer research as part of a comprehensive centre for treatment and research. It is designed to fulfil the requirements for an out-of-programme experience for a specialist trainee in oncology, haematology surgery, pathology or any other disciplines related to cancer, but may also be suitable for an individual who does not yet have a national training number and wishes to pursue a career in the cancer field. You will take part in a structured training programme of research leading to submission of a higher degree and there are excellent opportunities to maintain your clinical skills within the CRUK Southampton Research Centre.

The post is not formally recognised for training but there are well-developed site specialised multidisciplinary teams that afford the opportunity to gain expertise in the outpatient and inpatient management of all tumour types. There is no out of hours commitment.

This is a 3 year fixed term contract in the first instance.
