vaccine candidates against Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. At
present, the focus will be on the assessment of mRNA and/or virus-like
particle vaccine candidates. This role involves performing research work to a
high standard using techniques such as cell culture, protein expression,
purification and analysis, and advanced microscopy (e.g. TEM, IFA, Western
Blot, and Fluorescence microscopy). You will participate in the research
programme to identify, design and assess new target antigens as vaccine
candidates. You will gather, analyse and present scientific data from variety
of sources whilst contributing to scientific reports and journal articles and
the presentation of data/papers. Throughout, you will maintain confidentiality
regarding research data when interacting with non-collaborating researchers.
It is essential that you have a first degree in a relevant biological subject
(or equivalent) with a keen interest in malaria and immunology of infectious
diseases. You will have knowledge and understanding of immunology and
vaccinology with experience of or desire to learn pathogen and cell culture
techniques. You will be self-motivated, technically competent and capable of
working independently in a laboratory with good computer skills. Having
experience in _in vivo_ work with high competence in animal welfare and
handling techniques, different procedures and injection routes is highly
desirable.
