ABOUT US
We are part of UCL’s world-leading Institute of Immunity and Transplantation, where researchers and clinicians work side by side to develop cutting-edge therapies for patients with cancer and rare immune disorders. Our team is led by Dr Thomas Fox, an emerging leader in haematology and gene therapy, and Professor Emma Morris, an internationally recognised expert in cellular and gene therapies. Together, they have a strong track record in developing innovative genetic approaches for inborn errors of immunity and haematological malignancies.
By joining us, you will be part of a collaborative, ambitious, and supportive environment that values innovation, teamwork, and translational impact. You will contribute to pioneering work that combines next-generation gene editing with novel delivery platforms to develop the next wave of cell and gene therapies.
We work closely with clinical partners at UCLH and Great Ormond Street Hospital, as well as international collaborators, to ensure our discoveries move rapidly from bench to bedside. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of gene and cell therapy research with Tom Fox and Emma Morris, and to help shape treatments that could transform patient care worldwide.
ALL APPLICATIONS MUST INCLUDE A SUPPORTING STATEMENT, TELLING US, USING EXAMPLES, HOW YOU MEET THE ESSENTIAL CRITERIA LISTED IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION. APPLICATIONS WITHOUT A SUPPORTING STATEMENT WILL BE REJECTED.
If you have any queries about the role or application process, technical issues, or need reasonable adjustments or a more accessible format to apply for this job online, please contact the staffing team at hr.ii@ucl.ac.uk.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Fox and Morris group at UCL’s Institute of Immunity and Transplantation, you will work on cutting-edge projects developing gene editing and delivery technologies for next-generation immune cell therapies.
You will design and carry out experiments using advanced molecular and cellular techniques, analyse and interpret data, and contribute to publications and presentations. The role requires a PhD (or near completion) in a relevant discipline such as immunology, molecular biology, haematology, or gene therapy, alongside strong practical skills in cell culture and molecular techniques.
We are looking for a highly motivated and collaborative scientist with excellent communication skills, who is keen to work at the interface of discovery and translation in a supportive and ambitious team.
This role is available for 12 months in the first instance.
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:
