Research Associate in Immunology
University of Bristol
The roleAn enthusiastic and highly motivated Research Associate is required to add their expertise to a team investigating immunological mechanisms that promote T cell-mediated pathology in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). We have identified cytokine mechanisms and altered cellular metabolism associated with pathogenic T helper cell populations that orchestrate tissue damage in inflammatory arthritis. The project will combine in vivo models of inflammatory arthritis and in vitro T cell assays to test key cytokine and metabolic mechanisms as determinants of T cell-mediated pathology. Pre-clinical studies will use mice deficient in key metabolic mediators to determine their role in inflammation and tissue damage. The Research Associate will work as part of a team of academics investigating immunological mechanisms that underpin IMIDs and their comorbidities, and collaborate with industry researchers with expertise in immunometabolism and T cell biology.The post is funded for 2 years in the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and is available from January 2025.What will you be doing?
You should apply ifYou have a PhD in immunology (or be working towards one) and/or have significant research experience working in immunology and with experimental models of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases in mice. Strong candidates will have experience of research involving T cells, investigating immunometabolism, use of immunological techniques (e.g. ELISA, flow cytometry) and/or cutting-edge omics approaches (e.g., RNA-sequencing, proteomics). You should have a proven track record (commensurate with career stage) for conducting and disseminating research, evidenced by publications and presentations in respected journals and conferences, respectively.Additional informationContract type: Open-ended (fixed term funding for 2 years)This advert will close at 23:59 UK time on 20/11/2024Our strategy and missionWe recently launched our to 2030 tying together our mission, vision and values.The University of Bristol aims to be a place where everyone feels able to be themselves and do their best in an inclusive working environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential.
