We are seeking
to appoint a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join the research group of Professor Ignacio Melero, MD PhD, at the Oxford Centre for Immuno-Oncology within the Nuffield Department of Medicine. The translational immunotherapy lab, led by Professor Melero, focuses on the development, study, and mechanistic understanding of innovative immunotherapeutic strategies for cancer. The research is primarily translational in nature, involving both preclinical models and human sample analysis from clinical trials, and is carried out in close collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry. It is essential that you hold a relevant PhD/DPhil in Immunology (or is close to completion), with demonstrated experience in immunology and working with primary human lymphocytes. The role requires the ability to work both independently and collaboratively, as well as evidence of contributing to published immunology research. Strong communication skills are vital, including the ability to write for publication, present research findings, and represent the group at meetings. A working knowledge of bioinformatics is also essential. One or more first-author scientific publications, experience in protein purification and flow cytometry, and additional bioinformatics skills are highly desirable. Experience managing a discrete area of a research project, collaborating on research publications.
