A Research Technician position is available in the Centre for Cancer Immunology at Southampton General Hospital. This is a newly constructed, dedicated research building that is the result of a significant fund-raising campaign. It builds on a 40 year history of pioneering immunology and cancer research at Southampton, and represents the first dedicated cancer immunology centre in the UK. The activities in this centre span from pioneering discovery science to applied research and preclinical modelling and, crucially, onto first-in-human clinical trials and beyond. The centre houses world-class research facilities, including state-of-the-art scientific laboratories and a clinical trials unit.

The position is associated with the laboratory of Professors Ward and Ober. Their interdisciplinary research program is dedicated to the development of novel antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and autoimmunity. This research has led to several therapeutics that are currently in advanced clinical trials or approved for clinical use. The group also develops advanced microscopy techniques for the evaluation of novel therapeutics in cellular environments. Their research is supported by major grants from the Welcome Trust, Cancer Research UK and support from collaborating biopharma companies.

The appointee will be highly motivated and excited by the challenges involved in supporting a dynamic, interdisciplinary group of researchers. The appointee’s role will be to provide support with the day-to-day running of the laboratory by providing technical support for the experimental work of post-doctoral fellows, research scientists and graduate students, combined with the ordering and maintenance of laboratory instrumentation and supplies. The position holder will be expected to be familiar with biosafety and other regulatory processes and follow these procedures as necessary.

It is essential to have a skill level equivalent to achievement of HNC, A-Level, NVQ3 with proven work experience acquired in relevant technical support roles and job-related training. The role requires the ability to plan and organise your workload, work well under pressure and communicate effectively and professionally with other laboratory members. A scientific knowledge in a biological field equivalent to B.Sc. level is extremely desirable.

The post-holders will possess relevant academic qualifications and work experience as well as good IT skills.

The position is for two years until 28/06/2026. Availability of funds for a period beyond the two-year timeframe is anticipated.

You will work on the development of small uncrewed aircraft in the area of closely-coupled rotor research. This is part of the £1.2M Closely-Coupled Rotors EPSRC-funded research project in collaboration with colleagues in Aeronautics, Aeroacoustics and ISVR.

https://www.southampton.ac.uk/research/projects/aerodynamics-aeroacoustics-of-closely-coupled-rotors

The project will develop new methods and tools to design a new generation of urban unmanned aircraft. The project is specifically developed around a long-standing industrial challenge: reducing noise disruption caused by small multi-rotor uncrewed aircraft. The focus of the work at Southampton will consist of developing VTOL aerial platforms which can safely, reliably and quietly fly into urban cities to undertake servicing and delivery tasks. To enable this, new thinking is required in propulsion technology, particularly around the design of the propeller.

The project will contribute to:

Improved aerial operations in the urban environment.
Reduce noise disruption caused by urban servicing and delivery operations.
New thinking on flight within congested and cluttered environments.
Lobbying the regulation bodies, such as the CAA and EASA for relaxation of rules and permissions to operate in urban areas.
It is essential that you have a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in Unmanned Systems and have an excellent research track record. Further experience of designing, building and operating small multi-rotor aircraft would be advantageous.
