Job summary
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated clinician with an interest in academic urology to join the world-leading urological oncology team at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust. The post offers hands-on clinical experience across a range of tertiary-level surgical oncology services, as well as a dedicated research focus--particularly in advanced prostate cancer. It is ideally suited for candidates looking to further develop their academic portfolio in a high-impact environment or to potentially pursue a higher research degree (MD/PhD). The successful applicant will work closely with consultant colleagues in urology and collaborators across the University of Manchester and Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute on clinical/translational research projects
Main duties of the job
The post-holder will provide clinical and research support to the surgical urological oncology service at The Christie. Clinical duties include working in outpatient clinics, theatre, diagnostics, and multidisciplinary team (MDT) settings. The Fellow will also undertake a lead research project and contribute to departmental research studies, which may include the STAMPEDE trial, the National Prostate Cancer Audit, or associated translational studies. For the right candidate, opportunities exist to align research with a higher degree. There is no mandatory on-call commitment, although participation in a surgical oncology on-call rota may be possible.
About us
The Christie is one of Europe's leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country. We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years. We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.
