Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in
Super-resolution microscopy to study immune cell biology

Salary: £31,300 - £39,920 per annum

A Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is available for up to 3 years, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy of human immune cells.

The project will be based in Dan Davis's laboratory in South Kensington, London, and involves using new fluorescence microscope technologies (PALM, STORM, STED and others) to study fundamental aspects of Natural Killer cell immune synapses (see for example: Brown et al, Plos Biology, 2011; Purbhoo et al, Science Signaling, 2010; Chauveau et al PNAS, 2010; Sowinski et al, Nat Cell Biol, 2008). This is an exciting opportunity to join a multidisciplinary team using novel and state-of-the-art microscopy to understand the immunological recognition of disease at the nanometre-scale.

You should have a PhD or equivalent level of professional qualification and experience. Experience in fluorescence imaging and/or cell or molecular biology, and proven evidence of an ability to carry out important science are essential. Previous experience in studying immune cell biology and/or using super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is desirable but full training is available.
