    Description

    About us

    A position exists for a Research Assistant in the laboratory of Professor Lucy Walker in UCL's Division of Infection and Immunity (Royal Free campus). The Division of Infection & Immunity is the focus for research and teaching in infection, immunity and inflammation. The post will be based in the Institute for Immunity & Transplantation in the new Pears Building at the Royal Free Hospital. Work within the Institute aims to translate advances in the understanding of the immune system into improved diagnosis and therapy. By embedding high quality basic research programmes within a hospital environment, the Institute provides an excellent interface between science and medicine. UCL is ranked 9th in the world (2024 QS World University Rankings) and is second in the world for the strength of its international research network. It was ranked top in the UK for research strength in the most recent nat ional assessment.

    About the role

    The Walker lab is internationally recognised for their work on how immune responses are regulated. Appropriate regulation of the immune system is necessary to avoid autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. Conversely, in cancer immunotherapy selected immune regulatory pathways are blocked in order to augment anti-tumour immunity. Interestingly, the same pathway can sometimes be targeted to opposite effect in autoimmunity and cancer settings (e.g. anti-CTLA-4 antibodies in cancer, soluble CTLA-4 molecules in autoimmunity).

    The post is funded for 18 months in the first instance.

    About you

    Applicants should be highly motivated, have a degree in a biomedical-related subject, experience in cellular immunology and excellent communication skills.

    Please see the attached job description and person specification for full details. Please also read the attached Candidate Guidance document.
