Explore our current and upcoming vacancies within the Medical Research Council (MRC) Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE) in Exposome Immunology.
6x Postdoctoral Research Associates (PDRA)
We have 6 PDRA positions to work on a portfolio of projects that will form the core of our research vision. They will be a cornerstone of the centre, collaborating across our three Research Pillars to generate hypotheses and data to underpin subsequent grant applications and high-profile publications.
Available projects
- Defining acute and chronic mucosal responses to pollution exposure (Manchester): Apply for this PDRA role
- Multimodal AI for immunology (Manchester): Apply for this PDRA role
- Exposome-driven changes to the Extracelluar Matrix (ECM) (Manchester): Apply for this PDRA role
- Integrating the exposome with multi-omics in global biobanks to advance disease understanding (Oxford): Coming soon
- Microbiome mediation of barrier response to viral infection (Oxford): Coming soon
- Auto-antibodies in intestinal inflammation (Oxford): Coming soon
Transition Fellow in Air Pollution (Manchester)
The fellowship will provide 3 years of salary and a £20k/yr consumables budget to enable the applicant to establish an independent programme of research and apply for externally-funded intermediate fellowships to launch their academic career. We are seeking individuals with experience in generating and characterising realistic air pollution exposures who will apply these to in vitro or in vivo models to study the impact on lung barrier immunology.
Apply for the Transition Fellow in Air Pollution role.
Senior Biomedical Data Scientist (Manchester)
The postholder will be the Manchester-based lead for computational analysis of omics data produced by the CoRE. They will co-lead development of a computational pipeline that integrates multi-omic data at the cellular level across exposomes and diseases, revealing novel biology and shared mechanisms of immune regulation. The postholder will be an expert in the use of advanced statistical inference and machine learning methods for the analysis of omics datasets. They will work with a team of data scientists in Manchester and Oxford to create tissue atlases along with computational models to characterise the effect of exposures on different tissues in humans and model systems.
Apply for the Senior Biomedical Data Scientist role.
Biomedical Data Scientist specialising in Spatial Bioinformatics (Manchester)
The postholder will be responsible for applying computational methods for analysis of data from high-resolution spatial technologies, including spatial transcriptomics and proteomics data integrated with clinical data and other high-resolution omics datasets. They will apply cutting-edge machine learning methods for spatial omics and for multi-modal data integration. The post-holder will also collaborate on the development of new computational methods to support the CoRE’s scientific aims, published as well-documented open-source tools for wider adoption.
Apply for the Biomedical Data Scientist specialising in Spatial Bioinformatics role.
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Genome Editing (Manchester)
The individual will support the development and application of novel technologies for the genetic manipulation of immune cells, with a particular focus on mouse in vivo methodologies. Examples include Perturb-seq and AAV-delivered genetic tools. The role will also support the subsequent phenotyping and characterisation of generated models.
Apply for the Postdoctoral Research Associate in Genome Editing role.
Centre Coordinator (Manchester)
We are seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to support the Centre Operations Manager and Centre Director to ensure the smooth operation of the Centre across institutions. They will play a key role in event organization, servicing the various Centre committees and working groups, and developing an active online presence for the Centre via the website and multiple social media and blogging platforms.
