Postdoctoral Scientist in Adenovirus Vectors

3 weeks ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Scientist in Adenovirus Vectors who will join the Douglas group at the Jenner Institute, Nuffield Department of Medicine. This post will offer considerable freedom to purse an agreed strategy within the broad field of improving adenoviral vectors for gene transfer, particularly, for vaccination.

You will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities relating to adenovirus vector research. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. You will develop ideas for generating research income and contribute ideas for new research projects. You will assist in collaborating in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles, including taking leadership in more specialised publications on areas you lead, and present papers and posters at meetings and conferences. Additionally, you will represent the group through liaising with funders, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders including participation in external meetings.

To be successful in this role, you will hold a PhD/DPhil (or be close to completion) in biology or medical science, together with experience of, and excellent molecular biology skills in, the engineering of viral genomes, particuarly those of a size comparable to adenoviruses. You will be able to independently plan and manage scientific projects and have excellent communication skills, including the ability to write for publication, prepare protocols, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience.

This position is offered full time on a fixed term contract for 3 years and is funded by the UKRI.

Only applications received before 12 midday on Thursday 19 September 2024 will be considered. Please quote 174580 on all correspondence.
