PhD Studentship: Immune–Tumour Interactions

University of Cambridge; Cambridge; On-site; GBP 21,000 - 26,000; Full time

Job summary

The Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute invites applications for a PhD project led by Dr Tim Halim, focusing on how tissue-resident immune cells influence tumour evolution. Mouse models and human tissues will be used to uncover mechanisms and potential interventions.

You will learn cutting-edge immunology methods and computational analyses, including flow cytometry, multiplex imaging, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, in collaboration with Institute core facilities.

Qualifications

• Experience in immunology experiments and cancer biology.
• Wet lab skills in flow cytometry, imaging, tissue processing.
• Training in in silico analysis of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics.

Responsibilities

• Perform immunology experiments and tissue processing; assist in in vivo and in vitro assays.
• Analyze single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data; integrate with experimental results.
• Collaborate with the Halim lab and core facilities; present findings in group meetings.
