We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join Professor Powrie’s Mucosal Immunology Group. You will join a dynamic and successful group studying immune regulation in the intestine and how this breaks down in inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. As a Roche Postdoctoral Fellow (RPF), you will be dedicated to a multi-centre project that investigates fibroblast diversity across different tissues. In collaboration with Roche diagnostics, Harvard University and the University of Birmingham, you will be responsible for the characterisation of intestinal fibroblast subsets in healthy individuals and patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
You will be an enthusiastic, motivated, highly organised scientist possessing knowledge and good practical experience in Immunology, cell culture and flow cytometry with an ability to produce work to a high standard. A PhD in immunology or related sciences together with a desire to undertake cutting-edge scientific research is essential. Excellent communication skills with the ability to present results clearly and logically, working co-operatively as part of a team as well as independently, are also essential capabilities for this post. Experience of working with inflammatory bowel disease samples or next-generation sequencing and data analysis would be an advantage.
This is a full-time position, fixed-term for 2 years, funded by Roche.
