About the role:
We are currently looking for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the Cancer Inflammation and Immunity group led by Dr Santiago Zelenay. The aim of this role is to deepen into the mechanisms that regulate the establishment of tumour inflammatory environments that promote or restrain the anti-tumour function of the immune system building on from the group’s work (Zelenay et al. Cell 2015, Bonavita et al. Immunity 2020, Pelly & Moeini et al. Cancer Discovery, 2021, Bell et al. Nature Communications 2022). For this, the successful candidate will use cutting-edge immune profiling and imaging techniques for the analysis of syngeneic models of cancer and genetically engineered mouse lines with select immune and inflammatory alterations.
About you:
You should have a PhD in immunology or related field. A background in in vivo immunology is required as is working knowledge of the essentials of molecular biology, genetics, proteomics and cell biology. Experience in tumour immune profiling and in the analysis of next generation sequencing data would be an advantage.
