Job Description:

RDM Investigative Medicine, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford

About the Role

We wish to hire a talented and highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to investigate the translational implications of mechanisms underlying human tissue T cell immune responses. Graham Ogg’s group studies CD1a-reactive T cells in the blood and skin to define disease pathogenesis and identify targets for future therapeutic intervention. The successful candidate will conduct research in a dynamic and highly collaborative environment at an internationally leading research institute. They will benefit from expertise in immunology, computational biology, machine learning, and big data science. Opportunities exist to develop models explaining differential responses of T cell populations during homeostasis, inflammation, and cancer. This position is fixed-term for 3 years.

About You

To be considered, you should:

• Hold a Ph.D. (or near submission) in lipid work related to CD1a-reactive T cell immunology.
• Have relevant wet-lab experience with lipid synthesis, analysis, and handling.
• Have experience in CD1a-reactive T cell analyses.
• Have a proven record of scientific publications in relevant CD1 subjects.
