About this position
The CRUK Scotland Institute in Glasgow is recruiting a postdoctoral research scientist to join the newly established laboratory of Dr Riccardo Mezzadra. The project, “Dissecting the Interplay Between Senescence and Antitumor Immunity in Liver Cancer,” examines how conventional cancer therapies shape anti-tumour immune responses and influence responses to immunotherapy.
The successful researcher will become the first postdoctoral scientist in a growing cancer immunology group. The work will combine in vivo cancer models, therapeutic interventions, tumour and immune microenvironment profiling, genetic perturbation and functional screening to investigate mechanisms of anti-cancer immunity. Experimental approaches will include tissue collection, flow cytometry, spatial analyses and complementary in vivo and ex vivo studies of tumour–immune interactions.
Researchers will establish protocols and workflows within the new laboratory, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across the Institute and external partners, publish findings and present research at national and international conferences. The role also offers opportunities to contribute to the supervision and development of students and junior researchers.
The CRUK Scotland Institute is a cancer research centre in Glasgow with approximately 250 researchers across around 30 research groups. Its research environment supports fundamental cancer biology, metabolism studies, tumour growth and metastasis modelling, advanced imaging and in vivo technologies, scientific exchange and postdoctoral career development.

What's required
A completed or near-completion PhD in tumour immunology, cancer biology, biomedical sciences, or a related discipline is essential, as is laboratory-based research experience relevant to cancer biology and/or immunology. Candidates should be able to work independently, drive research projects forward, communicate effectively and collaborate well. Experience with in vivo mouse models of cancer, expertise in immunology, and knowledge of molecular biology, genetic manipulation or functional screening are desirable.
