About this position
The University of Birmingham is offering a unique, fully funded PhD studentship in Cancer Immunology, starting February or March 2026. This opportunity is based in the Institute of Immunology and Immunotherapy, one of the UK's top cancer research labs. The project, titled “Unlocking the cancer-fighting power of gamma-delta T cells,” will immerse you in advanced research areas such as CAR-T engineering, single-cell sequencing, and next-generation immunotherapy.
Successful candidates will receive a full-time Research Assistant salary (£33,966–£37,099) from the outset, with all tuition fees and research costs fully covered. This 4-year fixed-term post is designed to transition directly into a PhD, providing financial security and hands-on research experience throughout your doctoral studies.
Applicants should hold a first or upper second class degree in Biosciences, Immunology, Biochemistry, or a closely related field. Prior laboratory experience, particularly with flow cytometry, cell culture, and PCR, is highly desirable. The ideal candidate will be passionate about cancer research and eager to contribute to the development of innovative immunotherapies.
The application deadline is 4 January 2026, with interviews scheduled for late January. For more information and to apply, please refer to the application link provided in the comments section of the LinkedIn post. This is a rare opportunity for aspiring cancer immunologists to join a leading research team and make a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer.
