    Position Summary

    Under the supervision of Senior Lecturer Dr Deborah Burnett, this Post-Doctoral Fellow position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research investigating how the adaptive immune system recognises and responds to foreign and self-antigens. The successful candidate will employ a broad suite of immunological and molecular tools—such as flow cytometry, cell-culture, single-cell RNA sequencing, data analysis and in vivo models—to interrogate B cell responses in human samples and pre-clinical systems. This research aims to generate mechanistic insight into immune tolerance and autoimmunity, with translational relevance to infection, vaccination, and immune-mediated disease.

    This position is ideal for an early-career postdoctoral researcher with strong technical expertise, excellent organisational and communication skills, and a passion for scientific discovery. You will join a supportive, collaborative and productive research environment that encourages independence and fosters career development.

    Some Key Skills Required
    • A PhD in immunology or a related biomedical science discipline, ideally with a focus on adaptive immune responses.
    • Demonstrated technical experience in techniques relevant to exploration of the adaptive immune response including processing and analysing human and/or animal samples, multi-colour flow cytometry, cell sorting, ELISA, PCR, molecular cloning and RNA sequencing workflows (e.g., single-cell or bulk).
    • High attention to detail and excellent record keeping in both laboratory notebooks and digital data management systems.
    • Ability to work independently, take scientific initiative, and drive projects forward, while also contributing effectively to a collaborative team environment.
    • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to build professional relationships with collaborators, students, and technical staff.
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, and capacity to learn new techniques.
    • High levels of emotional intelligence, with a professional, respectful, and self-aware approach to teamwork and collaboration.

    Desirable
    • Experience in managing mouse colonies, including ethical and procedural compliance
    • Prior experience working in a research team studying B cell biology, immune tolerance, or autoimmune mechanisms.
    • Experience with bioinformatics pipelines for analysing transcriptomic or repertoire sequencing data.

    Please refer to the position description for full details.
