We are seeking
a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher with recent doctoral and post-doctoral experience that bridges across research areas that include genomic informatics, RNA regulation, RNA translational regulation, immuno-oncology and cancer genetics. The post involves working at the interface of computational informatics and cancer cell and molecular immunology. The post is funded by a collaborative grant that aims to develop the basic science and experimental basis for translation to personalised mRNA vaccines for rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer in children and young adults with unmet need. The post-holder will be located at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology and must be able to work independently within a multi-disciplinary research group and in collaboration with key project partners in the Centre for Immuno-Oncology in the Nuffield Department of Medicine (Dr Felipe Galvez-Cancino). The post-holder should either hold or be close to completion of a PhD/DPhil in a subject relevant to the post preferably with experience equivalent to a post-doctoral level. You should have expertise in genomic computational-bioinformatic approaches, as well as direct experience with laboratory molecular and cell biology techniques with respect to either cancer or immunology. You should have proven skills in working independently to solve experimental problems and be capable of high-quality research as demonstrated by significant research outputs through publications, patents and conference proceedings.
