Identifying Novel Anti-Malarial Transmission Blocking Vaccine Targets on the Parasitic Zygote

3 weeks ago


Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

**Malaria Research Opportunity at the University of Cambridge**

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our team at the University of Cambridge, Department of Pathology, to work on a fully-funded 4-year studentship under the supervision of Dr Andrew Blagborough.

The project aims to identify novel transmission blocking vaccine targets on the surface of the parasitic ookinete, a critical stage in the malaria parasite lifecycle. Using novel genetically altered parasites, this research will build a molecular map of the poorly understood parasite surface and facilitate the development of novel anti-malarial transmission blocking vaccines.

The studentship will cover the student's stipend at the current Research Council rate and University Fees. The studentship is open to those eligible for the Home rate of University fees.

**Key Responsibilities:**

  • Conduct research on transmission blocking vaccine targets on the parasitic ookinete
  • Develop novel genetically altered parasites for research purposes
  • Collaborate with the research team to achieve project goals

**Requirements:**

  • Equivalent of a UK 2.1 or higher in an undergraduate honours or Masters degree in a relevant subject
  • Eligibility for the Home rate of University fees

**The University of Cambridge is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of society.**
