Are you a passionate researcher eager to dive into groundbreaking cancer research? The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London is offering an incredible opportunity for a Postdoctoral Training Fellow (PDTF) in Structural Biology, working under the leadership of Dr. Claudio Alfieri.
Why This Role?
This position is perfect for scientists fascinated by cell cycle regulation and the molecular mechanisms that control cell proliferation. The research will involve a combination of genome engineering, proteomics, and in situ structural biology to investigate these mechanisms.
Key Details:
- Location: Chelsea, London (Chester Beatty Laboratories, Fulham Road)
- Salary: £38,700 – £45,500 per annum (dependent on postdoctoral experience)
- Contract: Fixed term (initially for 3 years)

- Visa Sponsorship Available: ICR supports costs associated with visa applications for eligible international candidates.
Who Should Apply?
ICR is looking for candidates with a PhD in Cellular Biochemistry (or nearing completion of their PhD). Experience in Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) and Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM) is desirable but not mandatory. This role is a great opportunity for someone looking to advance their expertise in structural biology using state-of-the-art tools and facilities.
What Makes ICR Stand Out?
The Structural Biology Division at ICR, led by Prof. Laurence Pearl and Prof. Sebastian Guettler, provides access to top-tier facilities, including:
- Electron Microscopy Facility featuring a Glacios 200kV microscope with Falcon 4i detector and Selectris energy filter
- Access to Krios microscopes through eBIC and LonCEM consortium
- Advanced protein expression and biophysics/x-ray crystallography tools
How to Apply
Interested applicants can apply immediately, as applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. To learn more or discuss the role informally, you can reach out to Dr. Claudio Alfieri at claudio.alfieri@icr.ac.uk.
