Research Fellow

Applications are invited for a mathematical modeller to join the Centre for the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). The post holder will work on a large project to evaluate Ebola vaccine trials and vaccination strategies. The post involves analysing individual level social network data from Ebola-affected communities, and investigating the transmission of Ebola Virus Disease. The post-holder will quantify network characteristics from raw data, and use insights from these data to design and simulate phase 3 vaccine trials.

PhD opportunity

Impact of increasing environmental CO2 on plant immunity. The primary objective of this PhD project is to gain a mechanistic understanding of how plant immunity and pathogen infection strategies will be modified in a future eCO2 world. Using knowledge gained from A. thaliana as a springboard, this project will explore the impact of eCO2 on disease resistance in two economically-relevant crops, wheat and tomato, and different tree species in a mature forest (including oak trees), against filamentous pathogens.

Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow

The University of Southampton are currently running a programme of research led by Dr Sean Lim to understand how mAbs can be combined to promote effective cancer immunotherapy. In particular, they are interested in the innate effects of T-cell stimulation of agonistic mAbs. The overall aim is to gain sufficient understanding to select the best mAb candidates for translation into clinical trial. You will be highly motivated, educated to PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in a relevant subject area and have practical laboratory experience. Ideally you will have research experience in standard cell-biological or immunological techniques, as well as practical experience of bioinformatics and systems biology approaches.
