3 weeks ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science Full time

Position Overview: We are looking for a dedicated Senior Research Associate to become part of a dynamic research team focused on pioneering ultrasound-mediated immune-modulation techniques at the University of Oxford, Department of Engineering Science.

Contract Details: This full-time position is funded through a generous benefactor donation and is initially fixed-term for 24 months, with potential for a one-year extension.

Project Goals: The primary objective of this project is to facilitate the development and clinical application of innovative protein-based ultrasound-responsive particles aimed at triggering immune responses in tumors, thereby enhancing cancer treatment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and execute both in vitro and in vivo experiments to evaluate and refine the immune-modulatory effects of ultrasound combined with protein-based particles.

Qualifications: Candidates should hold a PhD in immunology, cancer biology, biochemistry, or a related field, along with substantial post-doctoral research experience.

Team Collaboration: The successful applicant will demonstrate the ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team comprising engineers, biologists, and clinicians, and will have a proven track record of research accomplishments.

Required Skills: Proficiency in a variety of immunological techniques is essential, including:

  • High-dimensional flow cytometry
  • T cell in vitro functional assays
  • Single cell/bulk RNA sequencing
  • Spatial biological imaging

An active UK Home Office animal license is a mandatory requirement. Additional expertise in therapeutic ultrasound, cavitation monitoring, in vivo studies, and ultrasound-responsive particles will be considered advantageous.

Application Process: Candidates are required to submit a cover letter, a concise statement of research interests (outlining how previous experiences and future aspirations align with the position), a CV, and contact information for three referees as part of their online application.

Commitment to Diversity: The Department is proud to hold an Athena Swan Bronze award, reflecting its dedication to advancing the representation of women in Science, Engineering, and Technology.
