Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.

Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate within the groups led by Professor David Klenerman and Dr Steven F. Lee, in a collaborative project with Professor Simon Davis at The University of Oxford. The project exploits novel single-molecule fluorescence imaging methods to determine how key signalling proteins in the cell membrane reorganise to initiate signalling at the contact between two cells, initiating the adaptive immune response. 

The main role of the Post-Doctoral Research Associate will be to perform live single molecule imaging and quantitatively analyse the data obtained from these experiments using custom software. This will involve development and optimisation of the fluorescence imaging protocols and modifying and adapting existing analysis software.

Applicants should have a PhD in biophysics, physical chemistry or other relevant discipline and preferentially experience in quantitative imaging or single molecule fluorescence. This project is suitable for a physically trained scientist who is interested in doing multi-disciplinary research since full support is provided on the biological side by Professor Davis's group.
