About this position
University of Oxford is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Leukaemia and Tumour Immunology based in Oxford, England, United Kingdom. The project is led by Professor Paresh Vyas and focuses on leukaemia, tumour immunology, AML, alloimmunity, cancer biology, T cell receptors, and structural biology.
The research aims to identify mechanisms of alloimmune responses, discover tumour-specific alloimmune targets, define HLA-restricted peptide targets, dissect tumour cell killing, and solve the structural basis of alloimmune responses. The postdoctoral researcher will work with patient samples and contribute to the development of novel anti-cancer immunotherapeutics.
Applicants should hold a relevant PhD/DPhil or be close to completion (thesis submitted). Required experience includes laboratory and computational work, making and purifying soluble proteins, and strong specialist knowledge in leukaemia and cancer biology. Experience with crystal structure refinement and TCR binding measurements using SPR/Biacore is desirable.
This is a fixed-term 12-month position funded by Cancer Research UK. Applications must be submitted online with a CV and supporting statement. The deadline is 24 September 2026 at 12 noon.
