**About us**:
Applications are invited for a Post Doctoral Research Fellow position in the UCL Division of Infection and Immunity in a research team led by Professor Greg Towers.
The post is funded by a Wellcome Investigator Award to Professor Towers and aims to study all aspects of the molecular biology of pathogen sensing and its evasion using HIV and SARS-CoV2 as model systems. Key goals are to understand the mechanisms of lentiviral and SARS-CoV2 and sensing, to characterize how these viruses escape sensing and to understand the cell biology of the antiviral response that is unleashed when sensors are triggered. We have a particular interest in understanding how viruses escape innate immune sensing by manipulating epigenetic regulation of host gene expression and nuclear transport. Applicants with expertise in these areas will be particularly welcomed.

**About the role**:
Specific projects are designed taking into account the interests and experience of the post holder with a view to taking the most tractable approaches to making the most exciting discoveries. The team currently comprises an interdisciplinary team of molecular virologists, mathematicians, immunologists, chemists and structural biologists. The post-holder will be expected to perform the highest quality research under the direction of the Principal Investigator, and to work effectively with group members and external collaborators.

**About you**:
The position will suit a motivated postdoctoral scientist who wishes to develop their career and pursue opportunities for independent fellowships. Although the project focuses on infection as a model system to study innate immunity we welcome applicants from innate immunity and epigenetics backgrounds without specific virology experience.

Application is by CV and cover letter.

**What we offer**:
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:

- 41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days)
- Additional 5 days’ annual leave purchase scheme
- Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE)
- Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan
- Immigration loan
- Relocation scheme for certain posts
- On-Site nursery
- On-site gym
- Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay
- Employee assistance programme: Staff Support Service
- Discounted medical insurance

**Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion**:
Our department holds an Athena SWAN Silver award, in recognition of our commitment and demonstrable impact in advancing gender equality.
