About us:

Situated at the Guy's Hospital Campus, The Immunobiology Department aims to understand the interplay between protective immunological mechanisms and the infections and tumours that challenge human health.

Our research ranges from very basic studies of the molecules and processes that underpin the development and function of immune cells, to novel ways of improving immune function in humans.

We are deeply committed to educating and nurturing the next generations of scientists, researchers and clinicians, and deliver a raft of research-inspired programmes for trainees at all career stages.

About the role:

Your laboratory work will include cutting edge analysis techniques, such as single-cell transcriptional profiling (using 10x Genomics), high dimensional flow cytometry (>30 parameters using CyTek Aurora) and immune cell engineering (lentiviral transduction/ CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing), so experience of analysing complex single-cell data, as well as a strong background in cellular immunology, would be advantageous.

You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills and enjoy the challenge of learning and developing new assays and analysis techniques.

The post is based at Guy's hospital and will give access to cutting edge core facilities (Flow Cytometry, Genomics and Bioinformatics).

Overall, this post represents a unique opportunity for an ambitious scientist to develop a research career in translational immunology.

This is a full time, and you will be offered an a fixed term contract until December 2026.

About you:
Essential criteria

Holding a PhD in Immunology or related biological science
An excellent theoretical and practical knowledge of the human immune system
Extensive experience of immunologyfocused laboratory assays
Effective time management, organisational and problemsolving skills
Excellent oral and written communication skills
Ability to work irregular hours in accordance with the needs of the role

Desirable criteria

Experience of analysing complex singlecell data sets
Programming skills (e.g. R, Python)
Experience of working in multidisciplinary health care teams
