英国南安普顿大学博士后职位—计算免疫学
Research Fellow in Computational Immunology
University of Southampton
Description
The Gwyer Findlay lab investigates how neutrophils affect T cell phenotype. Our work sits at the interface of immunology and inflammation biology and we use a variety of methods in our studies – immunology, molecular biology, computational biology and imaging.
In this project we are aiming to unravel how cytokines are regulated in the human gastrointestinal tract. The post-holder will use analysis of single cell RNA sequencing, bulk RNA sequencing, ATAC sequencing and proteomic data to understand how T cells in the intestinal tract produce cytokines and how this is altered by neutrophil exposure.
You will hold a PhD in biology, bioinformatics, or a related discipline. Highly organised and driven, you will demonstrate initiative and problem- solving skills. You will have experience in computational analysis of large datasets, in understanding single cell RNA sequencing or proteomic analysis, and in managing, storing, publishing and sharing data.
What we can offer you
a world-class research environment
access to mentoring, career development and networking across the University and beyond
a personalised training and development plan including external training courses and attendance at conferences
a friendly, supportive lab environment
