Proud member of the Disability Confident employer scheme

We are seeking a Research Associate to join our multidisciplinary team studying how the immune system controls infection. Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a fungal infection of immunocompromised individuals, responsible for over 100,000 deaths globally each year and 20% of AIDS-related deaths. In this project, we are studying a new way that macrophage immune cells can ingest and kill Cryptococcus. We have discovered that macrophages have sub-micron ridges on their surface which improves their ability to interact and phagocytose Cryptococcus.

Key Responsibilities
• Design, develop, and perform experiments to study host-pathogen interactions.
• Apply live imaging techniques to observe host-pathogen interactions in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo.
• Employ advanced microscopy techniques to capture high-resolution images of immune cell interactions.
• Conduct quantitative image analysis to evaluate experimental data.
• Analyse data and interpret results to contribute to the understanding of immune responses to Cryptococcus.
• Collaborate with fellow researchers and team members to successfully implement research projects.
• Prepare manuscripts, reports, and presentations to communicate findings to the scientific community.
• Mentor and support junior members of the research team.

Required Qualifications
• PhD in immunology, microbiology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Proficiency in a variety of cell and molecular biology techniques.
• Proven experience working with in vivo infection models.
• Advanced microscopy experience, including live imaging.
• Ability to perform quantitative image analysis.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to work independently.
• Outstanding communication and teamwork skills.


Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with computational approaches to analyse microscopy data.
• Familiarity with the biology of Cryptococcus or similar pathogens.
• Previous experience publishing research findings in peer-reviewed journals.
• Demonstrated ability to compete for research funding.
