Postdoctoral Scientist – (24P-018) The Pirbright Institute
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; The aim of the Immunogenetics Group is to improve livestock disease resistance by investigating the genetics underlying differential immune responses to vaccination and infection.
We are addressing the needs of the research community and bridging the requirements of the vaccine industry. We are now recruiting a postdoctoral scientist for a permanent role in our research group. This role sits within a larger team that includes expertise in bioinformatics, recombinant antibody production, cellular biology and protein-protein interactions.
Lead strategically important research projects studying innate and adaptive immune responses to a range of economically important livestock pathogens (such as bluetongue virus, bovine respiratory syncytial virus, food-and-mouth disease virus).
Contribute specific expertise to a range ongoing projects and new opportunities.
Maintain meticulous records of experimental procedures, results, and observations in compliance with laboratory protocols and regulatory requirements.
Contribute to the preparation of research manuscripts by providing detailed documentation of experimental methodologies and outcomes.
Lab Management Duties (5%):
Participate in laboratory operations including equipment maintenance, inventory management, and adherence to safety protocols.
Train and supervise junior laboratory personnel, providing guidance on experimental techniques and procedures.
Prepare and deliver presentations on research findings at both internal lab meetings and external scientific conferences.
Engage in discussions with colleagues and collaborators to disseminate research progress and solicit feedback.
Stay abreast of the latest developments in vaccine development, antibody engineering, and related methodologies through literature review and attendance at scientific seminars and conferences.
Incorporate new techniques and approaches into research methodologies to enhance project outcomes.
Due to the nature of the work we do, all successful applicants will be required to go through a comprehensive screening process including reference and qualification checks, financial and security clearances.
A PhD or equivalent experience in a relevant branch of biosciences.
Strong hands-on laboratory experience in cellular and/or molecular biology.
A track record of independence in designing assays, performing experiments, and analysing data.
Experience in next-generation sequencing, encompassing library preparation and quality control procedures.
Familiarity in protein-protein interaction analysis techniques such as Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) or Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR).
Familiarity with the 10X Genomics platform for high-throughput genomic analysis or with flow cytometry phenotyping lymphocyte subsets.
