The role
An enthusiastic and highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate is required to add their expertise to a team investigating immunological mechanisms that link sight-threatening uveitis and inflammatory arthritis. We have identified cytokine-regulated mechanisms that determine the pathogenic potential of T helper cells that orchestrate tissue damage in uveitis and arthritis. The project will combine in vivo models of autoimmune uveitis and inflammatory arthritis, alongside in vitro T cell assays, to test key mechanisms as determinants of T cell-mediated pathology. Pre-clinical studies will also test the therapeutic potential of these immune mechanisms in in vivo models and in samples from patients with these conditions.
The post is funded for 3 years in the School of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and is available from June 2024.
What will you be doing?
- Use in vitro CD4 T cell assays to test mechanisms that determine their pathogenic potential.
- Establish models of experimental autoimmune uveitis and inflammatory arthritis to test drug interventions.
- Perform RNA-sequencing, proteomic and bioinformatic analysis of immune cells.
- Analyse, interpret data and discuss results routinely with the research team.
- Make a considerable intellectual contribution to the project and experimental design.
- Maintain a knowledge of the relevant scientific literature and advancements in the field.
- Dissemination of research - writing papers, presenting talks and posters at national/international meetings.
- Contribute to public and patient engagement activities.
- Team working, contributing to research student supervision and training.
You should apply if
You have, or are nearing completion/submission for a PhD, in Immunology and have experience of working with in vivo murine models of experimental autoimmune uveitis and inflammatory arthritis, and working with cytokines, T helper cell cultures and cutting-edge omics approaches (e.g., RNA-sequencing). You should have a proven track record for conducting and disseminating research, evidenced by publications and presentations in respected journals and conferences, respectively.
Additional information
For informal enquiries please contact Dr Gareth Jones,
It is anticipated that interviews will be held on 4th June 2024.
