The successful applicant will work with an NIH sponsored team based at the
University with access to advice from scientists at the MRC’s LMB, to unravel
successful vaccine induced B-cell responses induced by novel HIV vaccine
candidates. This individual will select antigen specific B-cells, and amplify,
sequence and clone B-cell receptor genes induced by vaccination.
Immunoglobulin genes from B-cells capable of inducing broad neutralising
antibodies will be expressed, sequenced, and ultimately compared to germ
line lineages.
You must have a relevant PhD and lab experience in molecular biology and
immunology. Experience in monoclonal antibody technology, PCR cloning
and sequencing, and antigen selection of B-cells will be preferred. The
candidate should have good communication skills and be able to write reports
and present them at lab meetings, and international meetings with
collaborators.
