to appoint a Postdoctoral Immunologist for the pre-erythrocytic malaria vaccine development programme led by Professor Adrian Hill and Dr. Mehreen Datoo. You will develop and perform immunological assays to measure responses induced by vaccines in clinical trials, with a focus on Plasmodium vivax trials. The position involves supporting the general programme of immunology in the human pre-erythrocytic (PE) malaria vaccine trials. In addition to clinical trials in Oxford, we have an extensive network of partnership institutions around the world. Liaising and interacting effectively with teams at these sites to train and support clinical trials will be an important aspect of this role and some travel to field sites may be required. The research involves humoral and cellular immunology techniques carried out with human blood samples including multiplexed serology (using bead-based Luminex technology), ELISA, flow cytometry, and sterile cell culture.
