Earlier detection of cancer offers the most excellent opportunity to deliver improvements in successful outcomes for patients. By diagnosing cancer earlier, it is easier to treat, causing less suffering to patients, and could save lives.
ACED has the bold ambition to accelerate and revolutionise research in the early detection of cancers by uniting world-leading researchers to bring together the best early detection science across the UK and US.
We are seeking candidates with an outstanding academic record with a first-class or Master’s degree or equivalent in a discipline relevant to early detection research, including but not limited to: biochemistry/molecular biology, biophysics, computer science, engineering, epidemiology, public health, physics, mathematics, medicine.
ACED is committed to training the next generation of early detection scientists and provides a world-class, supportive, and flexible training environment. The ACED PhD programme provides outstanding support by offering a multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional approach to training.
The programme comprises of the first year spent on rotational projects (with the potential to undertake rotations in different ACED Centres) as well as training in other disciplines relevant to cancer early detection. This will be followed by a 3-year research project.
The successful student will be expected to select the Principal Supervisor in a subject area of their choice from a list of approved UCL ACED PhD Supervisors. The Principal Supervisor and student will co-develop the PhD research project during the first year of the Programme, including selecting a suitable co-supervisor with complementary expertise to enhance the project from another ACED Member Centre.
