Oxford Cancer

Oxford Cancer is a city-wide network and partnership between Oxford University and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust based on the University’s Translational Biomedical Research Campus. It harnesses Oxford’s world-leading cancer research from across disciplines, with the core aim of facilitating collaboration on a local, national and international scale to ensure rapid translation from scientific discovery to treatments for patients.  

Fellowship opportunity 

This fellowship looks to connect a research-active academic based at an African institution with faculty within the Oxford Cancer network. We welcome applications from individuals with existing research interests that are compatible with any of Oxford Cancer’s four cancer themes: 

• Immuno-oncology 

• Early Detection and/or Prevention  

• Cancer Big data 

• Novel Therapeutics 

The AfOx Oxford Cancer Fellow will work with faculty across disciplines, where appropriate, to develop research ideas and projects. This could include co-led projects, research papers and future joint research developments. The Fellow would be welcomed into the Oxford Cancer network and supported as part of the research community during their fellowship, with a view to develop a longer-term relationship and collaboration.
