WIMM
A new 2-year research assistant position is available for a highly motivated Research Assistant in the Developmental Immunology research group of Professor Georg Holländer based at Oxford University’s Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM).
The Research Assistant will work with studies involving molecular methods of genome and transcriptome-wide analyses, flow cytometry and cell sorting, functional cellular assays and other methods. The work will also comprise the design and generation of novel models to study thymus biology.
You will hold a degree or equivalent in molecular biology, molecular immunology, cell biology or any other area of biological sciences relevant to the laboratory’s research focus. Experience with Next Generation Sequencing, epigenomic analyses and bioinformatics are advantageous. The successful applicant will have access to a range of state-of-the-art facilities including The Wolfson Imaging Laboratory. The research group has strong collaborations with the MRC Functional Genomics Unit in Oxford and several internationally recognised laboratories both within the UK and abroad.
The WIMM, with its outstanding core facilities, fosters research in molecular and cell biology with application to the study of human disease. The project will focus on the cellular and molecular networks that control the differentiation and function of thymic epithelial cells. Using novel in vivo models, the programme seeks in particular to determine the stromal mechanisms dictating T cell maturation and central tolerance induction.
Informal enquiries can be made to: [email protected].
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 8 September 2017.
