Clinical Research Fellow

We are seeking to appoint a Clinical Research Fellow to work within the School of Infection and Immunity under the supervision of Professor Gwo-tzer Ho [Principal Investigator].

This post forms the exciting new Gut Translational Research Group led by Professor Ho in the School of Infection and Immunity – a strong team of immunologists and translational scientists. This project will focus on understanding the process of mucosal healing in the human Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

The project: The Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Crohn’s and Ulcerative colitis are lifelong immune-conditions that affect ~300 000 individuals in UK. As part of a wider strategy to develop a deep human experimental medicines platform, this project aims to mainly focus on using novel human in vitro platforms using IBD gut stem cells, epithelial and immune cells in a more complex co-culture settings to study IBD-specific mechanisms and patient-centric outcomes such as fatigue and wellbeing.

This study has a strong discovery science component and will employ significant multi-omic datasets available from our current IBD projects and requires the postholder to work closely in a multidisciplinary team of immunologists, clinical researchers and data scientists.  In this project, the postholder will focus on developing and running the IBD cohort studies aligned to this program.

This post is full time and fixed term for 1 year with possibility for an extension for a further year.

For informal enquiries about the role, please contact Professor Gwo-tzer Ho, Gwo-Tzer.Ho@glasgow.ac.uk
