Job summary
A leading university in the UK seeks a postdoctoral researcher to explore novel methods for making immune-cold colorectal cancer responsive to immunotherapy. The position involves the use of mouse models and patient-derived organoid models, aiming to enhance therapeutic efficacy. Suitable for candidates with a background in immune-oncology and spatial data analysis. Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits included.
Benefits
Qualifications
- Previous evidence of successful project completion, particularly first author publications.
Responsibilities
- Investigate novel methods to make immune-cold colorectal cancer responsive to immunotherapy.
- Utilise mouse models, patient-derived organoid models, and spatial transcriptomics.
- Develop novel therapeutic approaches to enhance immunotherapy efficacy.
Skills
Education
We seek a postdoctoral researcher to carry out a research project to investigate novel methods to make immune‑cold colorectal cancer responsive to immunotherapy.
A Cancer Research UK funded postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Dr Kevin Myant (https://institute-genetics-cancer.ed.ac.uk/research/research-groups-a-z/myant-group). The project aims to investigate how targeting RNA splicing can activate immune responses in immune‑cold colorectal cancer. The project will use immune‑competent mouse models, patient derived human organoid models and spatial transcriptomics to determine how cancer cells and the tumour immune microenvironment respond to RNA splicing disruption. We will utilise this data to develop novel therapeutic approaches to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies in this disease. It would be ideally suited to a researcher with a background in immune‑oncology and spatial analysis. For more information, please contact Dr Kevin Myant (kevin.myant@ed.ac.uk).
- A PhD in immune‑oncology, cancer biology or a related biomedical field.
- Previous evidence of successful project completion, in particular first author publications.
- Experience working with animal cancer models and organoid culture systems.
- Bioinformatic experience, in particular analysis of spatial data, RNAseq analysis or experience of long read technologies.
- Ability to communicate complex information clearly.
Please ensure you include the following documents in your application:
- CV
- Cover letter outlining your motivation for applying and future career objectives
- To carry out exciting, disease relevant, impactful research.
- To gain experience in state‑of‑the‑art technologies providing a strong basis for a career in academic or commercial scientific research.
