Postdoctoral Research Scientist – (24P-46) The Pirbright Institute
Fixed-Term Contract – 30 months from start date – (not to exceed 27/05/2027)
The Pirbright Institute delivers world-leading research to understand, predict, detect, and respond to viral disease outbreaks. We study viruses of livestock that are endemic and exotic to the UK, including zoonotic viruses, by using the most advanced tools and technologies to understand host-pathogen interactions in animals and arthropod vectors. Our Institute is made up of a dynamic and vibrant community of staff covering a diverse set of chosen fields, backgrounds, and experience. We all play a crucial role in furthering the Institute’s aspirations, advancing the frontiers of science and knowledge through our excellent scientific research, knowledge sharing and contribution; We will produce viral-vectored vaccines expressing NP+M1 with NA and test the protective efficacy of different routes of immunisation in influenza-exposed pigs, to mimic the effect of human pre-exposure to influenza virus. We will study T and B cell responses in detail in different tissues to determine the effect of route of vaccination and attempt to identify correlates of protection. Pigs are genetically, immunologically, physiologically, and anatomically more like humans than small animals and an excellent model for human influenza. The project will require a scientist with training in a wide range of immunological and virological techniques such as FACS analysis, ELISA, ELISPOT, microneutralisation, virus propagation and plaque assays.
This project represents an exciting opportunity to be part of a consortium comprising the Pandemic Sciences Institute, University of Oxford, the Francis Crick Institute, and the Pirbright Institutes carrying out One Health research. It is suitable for virologists and/or immunologists with a keen interest in translational research for human and animal health. Time management, reliability under pressure, decision making/problem solving skills, action-oriented, entrepreneurial, agile, ethical/credible, inspiring, creative, influential, collaborative, emotionally intelligent, diplomatic, results driven, passionate, engaging and recognising.
Responsible for conducting research into transmission, evolution, and immunity to swine influenza viruses.
Analysis of B and T cell responses after influenza infection and/or immunisation (T and B cell ELISPOT, Flow cytometry, cell proliferation).
Analysis of the evolution and transmission of influenza viruses.
