Postdoctoral Researcher - CD8+ T-cell responses
The University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral immunologist for a new project analysing the parameters associated with the success/failure of vaccines in inducing protective CD8+ T-cell responses.
The opportunity
The project is a collaboration between the Roslin and Earlham Institutes that will be applying integrated immunological profiling and transcriptomic analyses (single-cell and bulk RNASeq) to a novel model to address this fundamental immunological problem. The post-holder will be required to have experience in a range of immunological skills and, during the time in post, will be fully supported in the development of the bioinformatics skills necessary to successfully analyse large RNASeq datasets.
The work will incorporate in vivo, in vitro, molecular and computational components - providing a challenge but rewarding project. Although the project is initially available until January 2023 but due to disruption from COVID an extension has been applied for.
Your skills and attributes for success
- Relevant scientific background in immunology
- Ability to lead a multi-disciplinary project
- Enthusiasm
- Interest in working in a veterinary model to address core ‘one-health’ challenges
