Research Fellow

UCL - The Reeves Lab / Institute of Immunity & Transplantation

Location: London
Salary: £42,099 to £50,585
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 16th September 2024
Closes: 30th September 2024
Job Ref: B02-07677

About us

The Reeves lab is housed in the new state of the art £55m Institute of immunity & Transplantation with close links to the Royal Free hospital – a major transplant centre. Our lab is interested in human cytomegalovirus – a major pathogen in immune-compromised people – with interests that span basic science through to translational applications. In particular, we have a longstanding interest in deciphering the molecular details of the host and viral mechanisms that control lifelong latency and reactivation; key immunological functions important for control of HCMV (in collaboration with Mark Wills, Cambridge); and the identification of novel targets for an effective HCMV vaccine.

About the role

The specific role is supported by an MRC programme grant and will investigate the role of a viral deSUMOylase (LUNA) expressed during latency with a view to understanding how this protein re-programmes the host cell to support latency. It will combine reductionist approaches with system-wide proteomic approaches to characterise the function of this protein.

In addition, the post holder will be to work closely with colleagues in Cambridge to understand the immunological implications of these observations viz. the immune control and targeting of viral latency.

The position is available for 3 years in the first instance.

About you

You will be a self-motivated individual with a curious mind who holds or is expected to hold a PhD in a relevant subject (e.g. virology or molecular biology). You will have experience of presenting your work at meetings, supervising UG students, working on collaborative projects and a commitment to promoting EDI in the work environment.

Experience working in the lab and in silico will be a distinct advantage in this role.
