About this position

The University of Oxford’s Centre for Human Genetics is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join an immunological and infectious disease research programme based at the Old Road Campus Research Building in Oxford.

The successful researcher will develop research questions within a defined scientific context and conduct independent research involving complex qualitative and quantitative data. The role offers scope to generate original ideas, build on existing scientific concepts, and contribute to new research projects and funding proposals while collaborating with colleagues across the Department and partner institutions.

Responsibilities include managing research and laboratory activities, planning and coordinating experiments, and developing, optimising, and applying analytical protocols and experimental techniques. The researcher will use specialist laboratory equipment, analyse and interpret experimental data, test hypotheses, and refine research approaches. The postholder will also provide advice on research methods and techniques and support collaborative projects.

The position includes opportunities to contribute to peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, reviews, national conferences, and seminars. Additional activities include organising and delegating work where appropriate, coaching colleagues in specialist methodologies, and contributing to public engagement and widening-access activities across the Department and University.

This is a research-focused opportunity for a scientist with expertise in viral immunology, cellular immunology, or a closely related area, working within the collaborative research environment of the University of Oxford’s Centre for Human Genetics.
