The Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health seeks to appoint a Chair in Neuro-Oncology to establish and lead programmes in neuro-oncology and neuro-immunology.
The University of Manchester has ambitious plans to develop ground-breaking research in neuro-oncology that, through the devolution of the healthcare system in Greater Manchester (GM), can be put into practice rapidly to deliver the very best healthcare innovation. To achieve this ambition of delivering the best patient care through cutting-edge research, neuro-oncology is an area of strategic priority. By bringing together neurosurgeons, clinicians, and scientists from the University and various partner organisations across GM the ambition is to establish a leading centre for brain tumour research.
The appointment of a Chair in Neuro-oncology is the first step in realising this ambition with the successful candidate being expected to take on an exciting leadership role, attract significant research income, and to produce high-quality outputs with academic and socio-economic impact.
