ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a talented researcher to join a curiosity-driven team to investigate the role of ubiquitin ligases in virus infection. This project aims to explore how ubiquitin ligases impact the innate immune response, particularly in the context of enterovirus and retrovirus infections. You will apply classical virology techniques and molecular biology methodologies, contributing to cutting-edge research in a dynamic and collaborative environment.

• In this role, you will be responsible for the day-to-day coordination of the project, by developing and testing new reagents, performing virus infections and collecting and analysing acquired data.
• You will assist with the writing of reports and present your findings to colleagues.
• You will assist in the training and development of other staff and students and interact with the wider Infection theme in the department of infection disease.
