Postdoctoral Research Scientist in T Cell Biology

This fixed term 2-year Postdoctoral Scientist position will be within the T-cell Biology group at The Pirbright Institute, in a project funded by the NC3Rs. The project comprises the development and validation of in vitro models that are capable of recapitulating the response of B cells and T helper cells in lymph nodes of pigs following immunization. The successful candidate will:

1. Optimize existing in vitro models by use of a microfluidics device.
2. Dissect the reactivity of cells in these models in detail, using cutting edge technology like full spectrum flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq).
3. Validate the in vitro system by a direct comparison with in vivo reactivity.
