About this position
The University of Oxford is seeking a Postdoctoral Immunologist to join Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert’s Outbreak Pathogens Vaccine Group at the IMS-Tetsuya Nakamura Building on the Old Road Campus in Oxford, United Kingdom.
The project investigates T-cell and B-cell immune responses to adenoviral-vectored and RNA vaccine antigens. The research will contribute to the development of novel vaccines against emerging and outbreak pathogens and help advance promising candidates toward clinical development.
Working within the preclinical team and reporting to Senior Preclinical Immunologist Barbara Dema Jimenez, the postdoctoral researcher will evaluate vaccine immunogenicity using in vivo models, analyse and present experimental data, adapt laboratory protocols and develop new experimental approaches. The role also involves collaboration with internal and external researchers, participation in scientific discussions, preparation of reports and publications, and support for the training and supervision of junior team members.
The position offers involvement in a highly collaborative and translational vaccine research programme with a strong track record in developing vaccines against globally important pathogens.
