Under the leadership of Austin Smith and Fiona Watt, the Institute for Stem Cell Biology undertakes fundamental research in embryonic, foetal, and adult stem cell biology. The Institute (ISCB) is recruiting Group Leaders to lead independent ground-breaking research programmes focused on the biological properties and molecular regulation of vertebrate stem cells. The Institute seeks high-achieving individuals with original projects in basic stem and progenitor cell biology. Interest is welcomed from individuals aiming to move into the stem cell field from a background of attainment in related fields, such as development, cell cycle regulation, cellular biochemistry, or cancer biology.
ISCB occupies purpose-designed laboratories provided with state of the art equipment and core facilities for stem cell culture, imaging, histopathology, FACS, and transgenesis. Located in the heart of Cambridge, ISCB is ideally situated for interaction with world-leading groups in the neighbouring Gurdon Institute and the nearby Departments of the School of Biological Sciences. Institute investigators also have excellent opportunities to promote biomedical translation of research findings via the Cambridge Stem Cell Initiative (http://www.stemcells.cam.ac.uk/).
Group Leaders will be expected to win competitive personal Fellowships awarded by external funding agencies. Successful Fellowship applicants will receive a Cambridge Next Generation Fellowship Prize to support their research. Expressions of interest are invited from individuals at all career stages. Candidate Principal and Senior Fellows will have an established international reputation for innovative research and should have demonstrable experience in team leadership. Candidate Career Development Fellows will have 3-6 years post-doctoral experience with original and creative achievements. Interim funding is available to support exceptional individuals for a fixed period pending external Fellowship award.
