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.

Are you an early career researcher looking for a challenge? Do you have a background in virology? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK’s leading research intensive Universities?

An exciting opportunity is available to join the laboratory of Dr Morgan Herod to study mechanisms of hepatitis E virus (HEV) replication, funded by the Medical Research Council. You will use a range of molecular virology approaches to study proteolytic processing of the HEV polyprotein. We recently made the exciting discovery that the polyprotein of HEV is not processed by a viral protease, thus implicating a host protease as critical in controlling viral replication. This position will build on these results and focus on identifying and characterising the role of host proteases in HEV replication, and define the role for HEV polyprotein domains in the virus lifecycle. The position provides an opportunity to conduct ground-breaking research into virus-host interactions and generate a new paradigm for RNA virus replication. To achieve this, it will exploit recently developed HEV culture and replicon systems, to conduct a functional proteomic analysis.

You will have a background in molecular biology and expertise in the study of viruses. You will join a team of researchers focusing on mechanisms of positive strand RNA virus replication and host-cell interactions. You will be organised and willing to work collaboratively as part of a team.
