About Us: We are parterning with a biotechnology company dedicated to developing innovative therapies in the field of immunology. Our mission is to transform patient care by harnessing the power of cutting-edge science and technology. We are currently seeking a talented Senior Scientist with expertise in immunology to join our dynamic research team in Oxford.
Position Overview: As a Senior Scientist in Immunology, you will be a key leader in our research efforts to advance novel therapeutic approaches for immune-related diseases. You will drive the design and execution of preclinical studies, lead scientific investigations, and contribute to the development of new drug candidates. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on groundbreaking projects and make a meaningful impact on the lives of patients.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Lead and oversee research projects focused on understanding immune mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis.
2. Design and conduct in vitro and in vivo experiments to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of action of immunotherapeutic agents.
3. Develop and optimize cell-based assays, flow cytometry panels, and other techniques to characterize immune cell populations and functions.
4. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including bioinformatics, medicinal chemistry, and translational research to advance drug discovery programs.
5. Analyze and interpret experimental data, prepare scientific reports, and present findings to internal teams and external stakeholders.
6. Stay updated on the latest developments in immunology research, contribute to scientific publications, and represent the company at conferences and symposia.
Qualifications:
7. Ph.D. in Immunology, Immunobiology, Molecular Biology, or related field with a strong publication record.
8. Minimum of 5 years of post-doctoral or industry experience in immunology research, preferably in a biopharmaceutical or biotechnology setting.
9. Expertise in cellular and molecular immunology techniques, including cell culture, primary cell isolation, multi-color flow cytometry, ELISA, and cytokine assays.
10. Proven track record of designing and executing preclinical studies, with experience in animal models of immune-mediated diseases.
11. Strong knowledge of immune checkpoint pathways, cytokine signaling, and immunotherapeutic modalities.
12. Experience with CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, high-dimensional data analysis, or single-cell technologies is a plus.
13. Excellent project management skills, with the ability to lead and mentor junior scientists in a collaborative environment.
14. Effective communication skills with the ability to present complex data clearly and concisely.
