Postdoctoral Scientist
Applications for this vacancy closed on 20 March 2025 at 12:00PM
**About the Role **
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist to join Translational Gastroenterology
Unit, Experimental Medicine, Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine (NDM).
This post is to work on the study of T cell responses to CMV in the mouse. We
aim to define their role in healthy tissue, in responses to vaccines and in
response to infectious challenges/vaccines and cancer. We also aim to
understand the role of MAIT cells in supporting CMV-specific “inflationary” T
cells.
The postholder will need to perform detailed analyses of CMV-specific T cells
and MAIT cells in in vivo models and where relevant in human samples.
Experience of mouse immunology studies and studies of T cell functions is
essential. Experience in studies of antiviral T cell responses and/or T cell
responses to tumours is a key asset and experience with studies of
unconventional cells is additionally an advantage This post has a strong
bioinformatic focus so the ability to apply single-cell RNAseq methods to
antiviral, anti-tumour and MAIT cell biology is essential.
You will hold a PhD in Immunology, or other closely allied area. Prior work in
the area of immunology including studies of T cell phenotype and function in
in vivo models is essential. It is desirable to have experience of actively
collaborating in the development of research articles for publication.
The post is full time( pro rata for part time) and fixed-term for 2 years.
What We Offer**
• Flexible working
• An excellent contributory pension scheme
• 38 days’ annual leave (including bank holidays)
• A comprehensive range of childcare services
• Family leave schemes
• Cycle loan scheme
• Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
**Application Process**
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to
upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application.
Only applications received before 12:00 midday on _Thursday 20th March 2025_
will be considered.
