About this position

3-Year PhD Studentship — Thymus Biology & Cancer Immunotherapy

This PhD opportunity is with Prof Paola Bonfanti at UCL Institute of Infection, Immunity & Transplantation, based at the Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom. The project investigates how canonical and noncanonical cancer antigen epitopes are presented by thymic epithelial cells, and what this means for central T cell tolerance and cancer immunotherapy.

The studentship is funded by an ERC Advanced Grant and combines wet-lab and computational approaches across human thymus biology, immunology, and bioinformatics. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in translational immunology, T cell biology, antigen presentation, and data-driven biomedical research.

Eligibility: applicants should have a First or Upper 2:1 in biomedical sciences, immunology, molecular biology, biochemistry, engineering, bioinformatics, or a related discipline.

How to apply: submit an application via the UCL application portal and email your CV plus expression of interest to [email protected].

Deadline: 6 August 2026. Start date: October 2026.

Funding details
