Post-doctoral Research Fellow
Parasite Immunology
A post-doctoral position is available immediately for a two year
collaborative project in the schistosomiasis research group, funded by an
INCO-DC grant from the European Commission.
The work is part of a programme of schistosome vaccine development and
will focus on responses of laboratory hosts following administration of
model vaccines, and subsequent challenge with normal parasites. It will
involve analysis of lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine production, and
antibody profiles, to correlate immunological status with protection
achieved by the vaccine protocols. Candidates should have a background in
immunology, and experience of the relevant assays for cellular and humoral
immunity.
Salary within the range 15159 - 17606 pounds sterling per annum.
Informal enquiries may be made by E-mail (raw3 at york.ac.uk) and further
