We are seeking
a passionate and motivated individual to join our team to contribute to cutting-edge cancer vaccine research. This role offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative, translational research within a collaborative and dynamic setting. You will work closely with scientists and industry collaborators to drive forward this ambitious research programme. You will be responsible for managing your academic research and administrative activities, including small-scale project management to coordinate multiple tasks and meet deadlines. You will conduct original research, analyse complex qualitative and/or quantitative data, and refine working hypotheses. Collaboration with colleagues in research groups and industry partners will be key, as well as contributing ideas for new projects and research funding. You will assist in preparing scientific reports and journal articles, present findings, and represent the research group at external meetings. Additionally, you will provide training or guidance to less experienced team members, use specialist scientific equipment, and support laboratory upkeep. Other comparable duties may be assigned to ensure the efficient running of the laboratory. It is essential that you hold a PhD (or be close to completion) in Biological Science, Biomedical Science, Immunology, or a related field. You should be proficient in in vitro techniques, including cell culture and FACS analysis, and have sufficient specialist knowledge and experience in tumour immunology to contribute effectively to the research programme. Strong organisational skills are required to manage multiple projects with competing priorities while delivering high-quality results. Excellent communication skills are essential, including the ability to write publishable text, present data at conferences, and represent the research group at meetings. You will have experience in following and adapting protocols, selecting appropriate experimental methodologies, and in vivo handling.
