description

postdoctoral researcher in translational research immunology

nuffield department of surgical sciences, john radcliffe hospital, headington, oxford, ox3 9du

contract type: fixed term for 12 months

hours: full-time

about the role

you will work on a new, translational project, funded by the mrc confidence in concept fund and industry partner, oxford biomedica, to generate antigen- specific, human regulatory b cells (breg). you will be responsible for the development and implementation of lentiviral platforms and crispr/cas9 techniques to deliver genes encoding b cell receptor constructs to primary human b cells. successful realisation of this project will demonstrate proof of concept design of precision b cell therapies in transplantation and immune- mediated disorders. you will be based within the nuffield department of surgical sciences in the john radcliffe hospital, as your normal place of work.

this position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the work of an internationally recognised team of scientists and clinicians within the translational research immunology group (trig). trig has extensive experience in studying and translating regulatory cell therapy from the bench to the bedside as new treatments for transplant recipients. breg have been shown to have key roles in defining outcomes in organ transplantation and autoimmune disease. trig has developed new methods of expanding human breg in vitro, to enable in depth study and therapeutic development.

you will hold a phd (or be near to completion: thesis submitted) in a relevant area at the time of application. experience with genetic editing techniques including vector manufacture, viral transfection, pcr and sequencing is essential. you will have demonstrated the ability to work independently within projects, with the ability to communicate results clearly and succinctly in presentations, manuscripts and grant applications. experience with lentiviral platforms, crispr/cas9 including homology directed repair as methods of gene delivery, and, ideally, flow cytometry are desirable.

this position is available from december 2022, fixed-term for 12 months and is funded by the medical research council confidence in concept & oxford biomedica.
