It is one of Europe's leading cancer research centres, supporting cutting-edge work into the molecular mechanisms of cancer development. As well as core support from Cancer Research UK, the Institute also receives an additional third of its total income from external grants and industry collaborations. It has an excellent reputation for fundamental cancer research, including world-class metabolism studies and renowned in vivo modelling of tumour growth and metastasis.\nProject Outline\nJoin the newly established laboratory of Dr Riccardo Mezzadra, launching in March 2027 and funded through a CRUK Career Development Fellowship. Dr Mezzadra's research focuses on understanding how conventional cancer therapies shape anti-tumour immune responses, with particular expertise in T cell immunology, tumour-immune interactions, and the use of advanced in vivo models to investigate mechanisms of anti-cancer immunity.\nThis is an exciting opportunity to become the first postdoctoral scientist in a growing research group investigating how conventional cancer therapies influence anti-tumour immunity and responses to immunotherapy. Working closely with the Group Leader, you will lead innovative studies combining in vivo cancer models, tumour and immune microenvironment profiling, genetic perturbation approaches, and functional screening strategies to address fundamental questions in cancer immunology.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and deliver research using in vivo mouse models of cancer, including therapeutic interventions and tissue collection.\nInvestigate how cancer therapies influence tumour-immune interactions through in vivo and ex vivo experimental approaches.\nApply tumour and immune profiling techniques, including flow cytometry and spatial analyses, to characterise treatment responses.\nDevelop and utilise genetic perturbation and screening approaches to identify factors that regulate anti-tumour immunity.\nEstablish new experimental protocols and research workflows within a newly formed laboratory.\nCollaborate with multidisciplinary teams across the Institute and external partners.\nPublish research findings in leading journals and present at national and international conferences.\nContribute to the supervision and development of students and junior researchers.\nAbout You\nEssential\nPhD (completed or near completion) in tumour immunology, cancer biology, biomedical sciences, or a related discipline.\nExperience in laboratory-based research relevant to cancer biology and/or immunology.\nAbility to work independently and drive research projects forward.\nStrong communication and collaborative working skills.\nDesirable\nExperience working with in vivo mouse models of cancer.\nExpertise in immunology.\nKnowledge of molecular biology, genetic manipulation, or functional screening approaches.\nPostdoc support\nPostdocs are key members of our research community, and we offer them a range of opportunities to train and develop as researchers while they are with us:\nExciting, innovative cancer research projects in state-of-the art labs.\nA highly collaborative and interactive research environment.\nAccess to and training in key advanced technologies, for example imaging and in vivo modelling.\nA mentor enabling scheme to aid personal and professional development.\nA rich programme of scientific exchange through seminars, workshops and meetings.\nSupport to make fellowship and small grant applications, including during their transition to their next position.\nGuidance and mentoring to compete for an independent scientist position as well as a multitude of other career options, including in industry.\nA highly engaged postdoc forum, providing peer support, training, careers advice and regular social events.\nEmployee Benefits\nCompetitive salary\n40.5 days annual leave including bank holidays (FTE)\nDefined contribution pension scheme\nFree life assurance scheme\nEmployee Assistance Programme\nInterest free season ticket loans\nAdditional maternity pay for 6 months at full salary\nShared parental leave including up to 6 weeks paid at full salary\nCycle to work scheme saving tax and NI on cycle purchase and spreading repayments over up to 12 months\nAccess to employee benefit schemes with discounts on supermarkets, cinema, travel and much more.\nOn-site secure parking\nClosing date: 4th December 2026\nTo Apply\nIf you feel you are a suitable candidate and would like to work for The CRUK Scotland Institute,
