About this position
The University of Birmingham is recruiting a Research Associate to support the Fungal Infection Lab in the Department of Immunology and Immunotherapy, within the Institute of Immunology & Immunotherapy. The research focuses on understanding protective immunity against invasive fungal infections.
Working under the supervision of Professor Rebecca Drummond, the researcher will use animal models of invasive fungal infection alongside in vitro cultures of immune cells. The project will investigate which immune cells and immune pathways are required to protect against serious fungal disease.
The role involves research support across established grants and projects, including experimental data collection, data analysis, development and adaptation of laboratory techniques, troubleshooting protocols, and contribution to academic publications. The researcher will also present findings at internal meetings, seminars, posters, and conferences, and may provide guidance to staff or students assisting with the research.
The position is based within the University of Birmingham's School of Infection, Inflammation and Immunology and offers a research environment combining fungal immunology, microbiology, infection biology, animal models, molecular biology, microscopy, histology, flow cytometry, and tissue culture.
