Why this role matters

Under the supervision of Senior Lecturer Dr Deborah Burnett, this Post-Doctoral Fellow position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research investigating how the adaptive immune system recognises and responds to foreign and self-antigens.

You will join a supportive, collaborative and productive research environment that encourages independence and fosters career development.
