Working in a busy and supportive environment, the successful candidate will enjoy a close working relationship with Cancer Research UK, and CRT’s academic and not-for-profit partners worldwide. In helping to bridge the gap between academic research and the clinic, CRT’s lawyers play an important part in supporting Cancer Research UK‘s vision of beating cancer.
