Position Details

Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, School of Medical Sciences, College of Medicine and Health

Location: University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham UK

Full time starting salary is normally in the range £36,636 to £46,049 with potential progression once in post to £48,822

Grade: 7

Full Time, Fixed Term contract up to April 2027

Closing date: 11th August 2026

Background

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented individual to work as an NIH-funded Research Fellow in the radiobiology research Group led by Professor Jason Parsons. You will contribute to cutting-edge research investigating the impact of hypoxia on the biology of protons and high-LET radiation. This work will be delivered using our unique, and national, radiation resources as part of Cancer Research UK RadNet Birmingham, which is a multidisciplinary partnership across the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences and the School of Physics and Astronomy.

Specifically, the project will use in vitro (2D cell lines, 3D spheroids and patient-derived organoids) models of head and neck cancers to characterise the impact of hypoxia on the biological effectiveness of photons versus proton beam therapy and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). This will also involve determining possible strategies to target cellular proteins leading to enhanced tumour cell killing by radiotherapy under hypoxia. Research will utilise protons and BNCT delivered through the MC-40 cyclotron and high flux accelerator-driven neutron source, respectively.

Our long term goal is to contribute to improvements in cancer patient outcome and reduced treatment toxicities following radiotherapy.

Role Summary

Work within the specified research grant and project
Operate within the area of radiobiology
Analyse and interpret research findings and results
Contribute to generating peer-reviewed publications and further grant funding

Main Duties

The responsibilities include:

Contribution to the development of radiobiology research within the Parsons Group
Work closely and communicate effectively with other members of the Group, and with colleagues in the School of Physics and Astronomy
Take responsibility for taking key decisions regarding the project and planning future experiments
Acquire, analyse and interpret research data acquired using a variety of research methods and apply knowledge in a way which develops new intellectual understanding
Contribute to developing new models, techniques and methods
Disseminate research findings for publication, seminars, conferences, etc
Assist in the supervision of PhD, masters and undergraduate students on research related work
Provide guidance, as required, to support staff and any students who may be assisting with the research
Present research outputs, including drafting academic publications or parts thereof, for example at seminars and scientific conferences
Deal with problems that may affect the achievement of research objectives and deadlines
Promote equality and value diversity acting as a role model and fostering an inclusive working culture

Person Specification

Essential criteria

PhD (or near to completion) in radiation biology, cancer biology, molecular biology (or another relevant discipline)
Evidence of playing a key role in a leading-edge scientific research project
Substantial laboratory expertise using molecular and cellular biology techniques
Experience running diverse laboratory experiments
Evidence of prior research productivity
Excellent project planning, organisational and time-management skills
Excellent data acquisition, recording and scientific writing skills
Excellent communication skills, and in delivering oral presentations at national/international meetings
Familiarity with key research literature
Highly motivated and keen to learn
Constant ability to produce high quality/quantity of work
Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
Punctual, reliable and professional approach to work
Excellent attention to detail and ability to prioritise work

Desirable criteria

Expertise in radiobiology research relating to proton and high-LET radiotherapy
Knowledge of the molecular and cellular responses to ionising radiation of increasing LET in normoxia versus hypoxia, particularly via DNA damage repair and cell survival pathways
Significant expertise of cellular culture techniques, including the utilisation of 3D spheroid and organoid models
Previous experience of head and neck cancer research would be advantageous
First author publication(s) in a peer-reviewed journal
Good laboratory practice and skills
Ability to solve scientific problems

Use of AI in applications: We want to understand your genuine interest in the role and for the written elements of your application to accurately reflect your own communication style. Applications that rely too heavily on AI tools can appear generic and lack the detail we need to assess your skills and experience. Such applications will unlikely be progressed to interview.

We believe there is no such thing as a 'typical' member of University of Birmingham staff and that diversity in its many forms is a strength that underpins the exchange of ideas, innovation and debate at the heart of University life. We are committed to proactively addressing the barriers experienced by some groups in our community and are proud to hold Athena SWAN, Race Equality Charter and Disability Confident accreditations. We have an Equality Diversity and Inclusion Centre that focuses on continuously improving the University as a fair and inclusive place to work where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. We are also committed to sustainability, which is a key part of our strategy. You can find out more about our work to create a fairer university for everyone on our website .
