Postdoctoral Fellow
Details of the role
Working pattern: Monday – Friday. This is a fixed-term (3 years) role on Crick terms and conditions of employment.
About us
The Francis Crick Institute is Europe’s largest biomedical research institute under one roof. Our world-class scientists and staff collaborate on vital research to help prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases and neurodegenerative conditions.
The Crick is a place for collaboration, innovation and exploration across many disciplines. A space where the brightest minds can pursue big and bold ideas and discover answers to crucial scientific questions. We support them in a dynamic environment which fosters excellence with state-of-the-art infrastructure, cutting-edge facilities, and a creative and curious culture. We’ve removed traditional boundaries of departments, divisions and disciplines and instead have an open approach that supports every researcher. This gives us the freedom to take risks and carry out high-quality, pioneering research. Creating a space for discovery without boundaries helps us to turn our science into benefits for human health and the economy.
About the role
An exciting opportunity to be part of a pioneering biomedical research institute, dedicated to innovation and science in the laboratory of Samra Turajlic (Cancer Dynamics) in collaboration with Prof. George Kassiotis (Retroviral Immunology laboratory) is now available.
This project aims to identify dark genome antigens and TCR pairs mediating anti-tumour T cell responses in patiens with clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) responding to immune checkpoint inhibitors (iCPi). This will be a 3-year funded position with the aim of developing novel TCR-T therapies in ccRCC.
We are seeking a web lab scientist with strong background in tumour immunology and immunotherapy, with hands on experience on in vitro T cell screenings, ideally high throughput.
You will be working in a multi-disciplinary lab of cancer evolutionary biologists, wet-lab scientists, computational biologists and translational research clinicians, and there is strong interaction with immunology and cancer groups within the Crick. The lab is now growing in its immunology expertise, which is why we are looking for a new Postdoctoral Fellow to join the team.
This project sits at the interface of basic and translational research, and the role is ideally suited for a creative individual with a strong interest in tumour immunology, cancer immunotherapy, and biomarker research in a leading academic setting.
If you have a PHD in tumour immunology or basic immunology, as well as experience in cell culture of patient derived primary immune cells, this may be the perfect role for you.
What you will be doing
As a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Crick, some of your key responsibilities will be:
Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to lead their own projects, contribute to other projects on a collaborative basis (both in the lab and with external collaborators) and guide PhD students in their research. The ability to work in a team is essential.
