PhD opportunity in immunology and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology. The project, supervised by Dr Patrycja Kozic, asks whether perforin-2 (Mpeg1) forms pores in two orientations and how this ancient MACPF/CDC family protein is regulated during immune responses. The research focuses on perforin-2 function in dendritic cells and macrophages, especially its roles in attacking intravacuolar pathogens and enabling cytosolic antigen deliver...

About this position

Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), based in the Centre for Cell Biology and Cutaneous Research, Blizard Institute, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, QM London.

This 18-month full-time post is part of a larger multi-disciplinary project funded by the Leo Foundation. The successful researcher will investigate how the ageing tissue microenvironment influences skin inflammation and immunity, with a particular focus on spatial transcriptomic and biomechanical analyses of aged human skin.

The role is ideal for an experienced scientist with a background in spatial transcriptomics, light microscopy, and related biomedical methods. Experience in skin biology, immunology, or histological methods is highly advantageous. Applicants should hold a PhD or be close to completing a PhD in a relevant subject area.

Key responsibilities include collaborative research, generating high-quality data, preparing manuscripts, delivering oral presentations, and contributing to laboratory management.

The post offers a salary of £39,187-£47,550 per annum and is expected to start in January 2027. Closing date: 22 November 2026 at 23:55.
