Research Associate in virus receptor discovery for pandemic preparedness

Role

We are looking for a postdoctoral level scientist to lead a project that will use our human receptor discovery platform to identify host receptors for up to 200 viruses listed on pandemic risk registers. In collaboration with Dr Dalan Bailey at The Pirbright Institute, the role these newly identified receptors in host recognition by viruses will be determined. This project will contribute scientific knowledge that will be crucial in preparing the response to the next pandemic. You will be responsible for leading the project to meet funder milestones, design and execution of experiments, preparing progress reports, and contributing to the local and wider scientific community through presentations and other engagement.
