About the Role

We are seeking to appoint a post-doctoral scientist with experience in immunology to join Prof. Alison Simmons's lab to investigate mechanisms of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) mediated immunoregulation at the intestinal barrier. Capitalising on a large data resource documenting GPCR expression in healthy and pathogenic cell states linked to intestinal pathologies the job will involve exploring the role of specific GPCRs in regulating intestinal barrier health. The post-holder will use or co-develop advanced model systems and a series of cutting-edge technologies to address this question.

The group takes a multi-faceted approach that incorporates molecular, biochemical and computational approaches to address intestinal disease pathogenesis and develop new approaches to treatment.
