　　Summary of Job Purpose and Principal Duties

　　We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to participate in a collaborative project between the Division of Signal Transduction Therapy (DSTT) and one of the world’s major pharmaceutical companies.

　　The number and activation state of intra-tumoral DCs critically define the anti-tumour immune response.

The aim of the project is to engineer cytokines with unprecedented DC-activation potential.

　　  Capable of working in a team, but able to plan and work independently.

　　  Excellent communication skills and knowledge of the English language are essential.

　　  The candidate should have ambitions to become a successful independent researcher either in academia or the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry.
