The Immunology & Immunodeficiency Lab is led by Prof Stuart Tangye and aims to identify the genetic causes of immune diseases such as early-onset and recurrent infections, autoimmunity, or allergy. Our goal is to determine molecular, biochemical, and cellular mechanisms responsible for these conditions and use this information to diagnose affected individuals, guide treatments, and predict disease outcomes.

  • Design and manage own experiments and report findings back to supervisor
  • Regularly attend seminars and conferences
  • Contribute towards research projects through joint authorship of abstracts and publications in relevant journals
  • Develop research-related material with guidance from senior staff and assist in the design and operation of laboratory equipment
  • Proactively manage lab management functions and resource issues

The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to continuous delivery of high-quality work, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with researchers across laboratories.

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's Degree in Science or Medicine (with Honours) or a PhD/Medicine in a relevant area (immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology)
  • Competent computer skills and high level of accuracy and attention to detail
  • Specific technical expertise relating to position or field of study
  • Appointment at this level would normally require at least 4 years' experience within a lab, however this alone is not sufficient
