Postdoctoral Research Scientist – B Cell Immunology
Postdoctoral Research Scientist – B Cell Immunology
NDM Experimental Medicine, Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford
We are seeking an ambitious Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the Bannard Lab (B Cell Biology Group) in the MRC Human Immunology Unit (HIU) at the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM). The driving goal of our laboratory is to understand the mechanisms responsible for antibody affinity maturation in germinal centres, to learn how B cells make fate-decisions during immune responses, and ultimately to gain establish how humoral immunological memory is formed. We are particularly interested in the biology of clonal selection. To this end, we employ various in vivo models to track and monitor cell differentiation in situ and to uncover the events and cues shepherding B cell behaviour. For examples of our interests, please see recent publications, e.g., Stewart et al. 2018 (Immunity, PMID 30231983), Maclean et al. 2022 (Immunity, PMID 35349789), Long et al. 2022 (Science Immunology, PMID 35276753).
The MRC HIU in the MRC WIMM provides the perfect research environment. We have access to world-class facilities, including the Wolfson imaging suite (confocal, 2-photon, super-resolution etc), the genome targeting facility, and the single cell genomics core, etc. We are part of a vibrant immunology community that regularly meets to discuss ongoing research projects. Suitable candidates should have a strong track record, be highly driven and creative, and have a true passion for researching and understanding immunology. The successful candidate will join a small group of friendly and supportive scientists.
Informal enquiries are welcome and can be made to Oliver Bannard (oliver.bannard@ndm.ox.ac.uk). This is a full-time appointment for a period of 3 years initially. The work is funded by The Wellcome Trust.
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to upload a supporting statement as part of your online application. The supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.
