About the role
We are seeking to employ a Research Fellow in Autoimmune with a background in immunology and a research interest in autoimmune diseases to conduct research into the rare autoimmune disease Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP). This life-threatening disorder is characterised by autoantibodies against the enzyme ADAMTS13, which ultimately lead to thrombotic occlusion of the microvasculature. The research project will focus on investigating patient B-cells and T-cells that are specific for the autoantigen (ADAMTS13).
The Research Fellow will develop and plan research together with Prof Scully and Dr de Groot and carry out the research in accordance with agreed projects as well as conducting data analysis ensuring its validity and reliability of data at all times.
A full range of duties can be found on the attached job description.
The post is full-time (36.5 hours) and funded until 30th November 2027. Further funding may become available.
Appointment at Grade 7 (£42,099 - £50,585 per annum) is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Research Assistant Grade 6B (£37,332 – £39,980 per annum) with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.
For an informal discussion please contact Dr Rens de Groot.
For any queries regarding the recruitment process please contact Anita Gorasia.
