Postdoctoral Research Scientist

at  University of Oxford

AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH TEAM AT THE OXFORD CENTRE FOR NEUROINFLAMMATION

You are invited to apply to join Professor Lars Fugger and his team at the University of Oxford, based at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital. You will join a team of research scientists, computational biologists, and clinicians, have access to state-of-the-art technologies and collaborate with leading researchers both locally and globally.
Physical and mental disability caused by the immune system is a common clinical occurrence in many diseases of the brain, most notably for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and MOG antibody disease (MOGAD). However, the role of immune cells in patients afflicted by these diseases is largely unknown, thereby limiting our ability to develop better and safer treatment options. As part of a highly collaborative research initiative, the successful applicant will perform a diverse range of experimental assays that rely on a strong understanding of cellular and molecular biology.
Applicants must hold a PhD in Immunology or Neuroimmunology. You must have experience working with primary cells and/or patient tissue and be highly motivated to learn and develop new techniques that interrogate the function of cells in a disease setting. Please see the job description attached for essential and desirable criteria, as well as further information about the university and how to apply.
This is a highly competitive position and therefore it is advisable to contact Professor Lars Fugger prior to making a formal application in order to discuss the role. If you would like to discuss your application informally before applying, please email Professor Fugger ( lars.fugger@ndcn.ox.ac.uk).
