We are looking to welcome a new member to our team, with a research assistant position available to work on the mechanisms that underpin successful responses to vaccination. The successful applicant will work to understand the fundamental biology of the germinal centre response upon vaccination and to determine how ageing impairs its formation and function. This work is a successful ERC consolidator project and builds on previous published work from the laboratory: www.babraham.ac.uk/our-research/immunology/michelle-linterman

The project will use a wide variety of cellular and molecular immunology techniques. We are particularly interested in recruiting people who have experience in imaging (two-photon intravital imaging, confocal microscopy, whole tissue clearing), single cell RNA sequencing and analysis, bioinformatics and flow cytometry. We do not expect an individual candidate to be proficient in all of these in order to be appointed.

We are committed to hiring the best people for the available jobs, which is why we are offering flexibility in the contract length and the working hours to suit the post-holder. In the cover letter, we ask that applicants outline their suitability for these roles and to advise their ideal appointment length (up to three years) and what their preferred working hours would be (e.g. full time, part time or job share).

This is a limited term appointment with funding for this post available for a period of 3 years in the first instance.

Informal enquiries can be addressed to [email protected]

The Institute has joined the Technician Commitment initiative, which is a commitment to support the recognition, visibility, sustainability and career development of our research support community, including Research Assistants.
