Position outline

A unique opportunity to become a member in the laboratory of Dr Ed Roberts is available. We are looking for an enthusiastic team player to help drive research projects that explore how information from peripheral tissues are delivered to the lymph node and how that informs the character of the T-cell response with an aim to improving anti-tumour T-cell immunity.

Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant subject.  Research experience using mouse models, flow cytometry and a strong background in immunology are essential.  Experience of dendritic cell biology and microscopy would be advantageous but not essential. Applicants must have good organisational skills and enjoy working in a positive and inclusive research environment.
