This project builds on our published data (Tregoning et al, Mol Ther NA, 2023: PMID 36589712) that showed a critical role for RNA vaccine induced inflammation in protective immunity. We are looking for someone passionate about immunology to work in a close knit team.<strong> </strong></p>\n<p><strong>What you would be doing:</strong><strong> </strong></p>\n<p>You will be working as part of a team on immune response to RNA vaccines, focusing on the early events after immunisation. This will involve making RNA vaccines, formulating them and testing them in pre-clinical models. You will then dissect the immune response in order to determine the mechanism of immune induction. You will be expected to take a lead in planning and designing the studies (with support from the PI).<strong> </strong></p>\n<p><strong>What we are looking for:</strong><strong> </strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Masters degree (or equivalent) in relevant subject</li>\n<li>In vivo/ pre-clinical experience</li>\n<li>R/ bio-informatics</li>\n<li>Evidence of independent research<strong> </strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>What we can offer you:</strong><strong> </strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Regular tea (or coffee) breaks</li>\n<li>Indoor work, no heavy lifting</li>\n<li>Genuinely fascinating project</li>\n<li>Dad jokes</li>\n<li>The occasional down day when nothing works, but counteracted by up days when things do</li>\n<li>The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution</li>\n<li>Sector-leading salary and remuneration package (including 39 days off a year) </li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Further Information</strong></p>\n<p>This is a full time, fixed term role based at South Kensington Campus. </p>\n<p>The department of infectious disease is the largest academic ID department in UK. We have just moved to a more consolidated location in South Kensington campus. There are lots of opportunities for cross-discipline work and discussions. </p>\n<ul>\n<li>PIL would be really helpful</li>\n</ul><p>£43,003 to £46,297 per annum</p>"
