About the role

The Oxford Vaccine Group (OVG) has an exciting opening for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and team-oriented Senior Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Mucosal Immunology to join the group, reporting to Professor Daniela Ferreira.

OVG is a passionate and active research group which conducts world-leading research into creating new and optimising existing vaccines for children and adults. Our research has led to development and licensure of the new Oxford/AstraZeneca SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, by delivering and managing global vaccine trials. We are also working on human challenge models to advance the development of vaccines and therapeutics against infectious diseases, including pneumococcus, RSV and influenza.

In this position you will lead development of transcriptomic analysis across several ongoing projects contributing to the identification of mucosal mechanisms involved in protection and susceptibility to respiratory disease as well as vaccine-induced immune responses.

You will also use a broad array of T and B cell experimental approaches including ELISpot, flow cytometry, ELISA and sterile cell culture. You will work closely with both laboratory and bioinformatic teams and will be responsible for analysis and/or supervision of the data analyses. You will be expected to write publications for academic journals and raise research funds through grant applications.

The post is a 3-year fixed term contract with the possibility of extension.

This role meets the criteria for a UK Skilled Worker visa.

About you

The successful candidate will hold a PhD in immunology or a related immunological subject and have specialist knowledge to independently develop research questions and conduct research on immunity induced in the context of vaccination, natural infection and controlled human infection models. The successful candidate will have experience assessing immunity to respiratory viruses such as flu, RSV, SARS-CoV-2. Examples of techniques where you will be proficient include ELISA, ELISpot, multiparameter flow cytometry, ICS, AIM assays and single cell/bulk/spatial transcriptomic experiments.

Applicants will have excellent interpersonal skills and capacity to work collaboratively and a strong publication record.
