Job Description

Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are now established as effective treatments for Cancer albeit with considerable potential for further improvement.  The Cancer Sciences Unit in Southampton has a strong track record in basic and translational immunology including development of therapeutic mAb. BioInvent is a science-focused European biotech dedicated to development of antibody-based cancer immunotherapeutics.  

Building on the recent successful generation and characterization of antibodies to the cell targets OX40 and 4-1BB, BioInvent and the Antibody and Vaccine Group within the Cancer Sciences Unit are now seeking a Research Technician. The successful candidate will work alongside postdoctoral scientists to explore the molecular mechanisms, by which antibodies to OX40 and 4-1BB promote anti-cancer immune responses in a variety of in vitro and murine in vivo models, as we seek to develop these for translation into the clinic.

You will be educated in a relevant subject area and have practical laboratory experience. Ideally, you will have research experience in standard cell-biological or immunological techniques and hold an Undergraduate Degree or equivalent. Prior experience with in vivo models and a current Home Office (HO) licence are also highly desirable.

The post is fixed term for 17 months in the first instance with the possibility of further funding.

Interviews will be held on Thursday 8th June 2017.
