Applications are invited for two three-year independent fellowships based in the new Medical Research Council Centre of Research Excellence (MRC CoRE) in Exposome Immunology, hosted jointly by the universities of Manchester and Oxford. The successful candidates will establish their group within the MRC CoRE, and leverage cutting edge computational approaches, novel experimental models, and/or experimental medicine studies to uncover how pollutants and infections interact with our genes to cause and exacerbate chronic inflammatory diseases.

The purpose of these fellowships is to support experienced postdoctoral researchers to generate ideas and supportive data to underpin applications for prestigious intermediate fellowships (e.g. the Career Development Award schemes funded by MRC or Wellcome), enabling them to establish their own independent research groups at The University of Manchester.

As such, applicants are expected to have clear plans for how they will develop an original research programme with direct relevance to the MRC CoRE in Exposome Immunology’s short-term focus - to understand the immunological mechanisms by which environmental exposures cause or exacerbate chronic inflammatory conditions of the lung and gut, namely asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The applicant will be expected to align with the MRC CoRE’s priority of multidisciplinary science incorporating aspects of core disciplines including immunology, inflammatory disease, atmospheric sciences or data science.

Successful applicants will be provided with 3 year’s salary and a consumables budget of £20k per year.

Salary: £47,389 - £58,225 per annum, depending on relevant experience

UCL is seeking an enthusiastic immunologist to join the Institute of Infection, Immunity and Transplantation as a Lecturer (Teaching).
