Research Associate in TCR repertoire analysis in cancer

Found in: Talent UK C2 - 2 weeks ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

Project The central aim of the project is to investigate whether one can identify differences in the TCR repertoire of patients with IDH1 mutant gliomas from IDH1 null gliomas and from healthy controls by leveraging sequence specific information. The project will involve analysis of large sequencing datasets of TCR repertoires generated from peripheral blood in hundreds of cases and controls. There is a substantial bioinformatic and statistical component to the project.

Candidate Candidates should have(or be close to finishing) a PhD in genomics, quantitative biology, physics or mathematics, an excellent research record and an interest in biological / clinical applications of genomics and maths. Experience with analysis of TCR repertoires and TCR sequences is essential.

Lab and environment The Blundell lab is part of the Early Cancer Institute in the Department of Oncology at the University of Cambridge. We are embedded in the CRUK Cambridge Centre. Situated on Cambridge Biomedical Research Campus, with close ties to Addenbrooke's Hospital and a host of biotech companies, our location affords our members access to human tissue samples, state of the art sequencing facilities, and the opportunity to forge collaborations with world class physicists, engineers, biologists and clinicians in Cambridge. More information on the lab can be found at

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 1 years in the first instance.

We welcome applications from individuals who wish to be considered for part-time working or other flexible working arrangements.

Applicants must have (or be close to obtaining) a PhD.
