Found in: beBee jobs GB - 2 weeks ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

We are seeking to appoint a Research Assistant in Tumour Immunology to join the newly established research group led by Dr Carol Leung at the Oxford Centre for Immuno-Oncology. The group focuses on developing novel immunotherapies against cancer, primarily on developing therapeutic cancer vaccines that aim to stimulate the body's immune system to target and kill cancer cells.

Among your responsibilities, you will manage your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. You will conduct original research within the context of the group, analysing detailed and complex qualitative and/or quantitative data from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining working hypotheses as appropriate. You will carry out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner institutions, and research groups and contribute ideas for new research projects and develop ideas for generating research income, collaborating in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles and occasionally present papers and posters.

It is essential that you hold a degree (BSc or equivalent) in Biological Science, Biomedical Science, Immunology, or a related field with some relevant experience. You will be proficient in in vitro techniques, including cell culture and FACS analysis and will possess sufficient specialist knowledge in tumour immunology to work within the research programme. You will be able to manage own research and administrative activities, together with excellent communication skills, including the ability to write text that can be published, present data at conferences, 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 until 30 June 2025 in the first instance and is funded by the OxPLoreD program.

Only applications received before 12 midday on Friday 26 April 2024 will be considered. Please quote 172053 on all correspondence.
