The Haemostasis Research Unit (HRU) is a vibrant research group that consists of clinicians and basic scientists conducting world leading research on the autoimmune disease Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP).

**About the role**:
We are seeking to employ a Research Fellow in Autoimmune with a background in immunology and a research interest in autoimmune diseases to conduct research into the rare autoimmune disease Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). This life-threatening disorder is characterized by autoantibodies against the enzyme ADAMTS13, which ultimately lead to thrombotic occlusion of the microvasculature. The research project will focus on investigating patient B-cells and T-cells that are specific for the autoantigen (ADAMTS13).

The Research Fellow will develop and plan research together with Prof Scully and Dr de Groot and carry out the research in accordance with agreed projects as well as conducting data analysis ensuring its validity and reliability of data at all times.

The post is full-time (36.5 hours) and funded until 30th November 2027. Further funding may become available.

Appointment at Grade 7 (£42,099 - £50,585 per annum) is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Research Assistant Grade 6B (£37,332 - £39,980 per annum) with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.

**About you**:
The Research Fellow must have a PhD in immunology, a research interest in autoimmune disease and experience with isolating PBMC’s and investigating lymphocytes. The role holder will also be skilled in flow cytometry.

**What we offer**:
We will consider applicates to work on a part-time, flexible and job share wherever possible.
