Research Fellow in Computational Immunology at Nottingham Trent University

About the Role

Additional Information: This post is being offered on a fixed-term contract for 12 months (5 days/week).

The Leukaemia Immunotherapy group is using spatial transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to discover immune gene signatures that predict clinical response of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) to immunotherapy. Genomics data are further complemented by a broad range of experimental in vitro leukaemia models. This line of research will ultimately provide a compendium for sophisticated integrative data analysis, modelling and visualisation, with the goal to deliver personalised immunotherapy to patients with AML.

The role will specifically involve the analysis of transcriptomic data from multiple independent cohorts of patients with AML that have been generated by our laboratory scientists. However, independent, self-motivated dry-lab approaches (i.e., the analysis of public transcriptomic/proteomic AML datasets) will also be encouraged. We are an interdisciplinary team with expertise in leukaemia biology and treatment, cancer genomics and bioinformatics.

Applications are welcome from candidates with a PhD in a relevant subject and a strong and proven research experience or interest in systems immunology and computational biology.
