The Transmissible Cancer Group at the University of Cambridge, Department of Veterinary Medicine, is seeking to appoint a Research Assistant to join a dynamic team studying the immunogenetics of transmissible cancers. This is a fixed-term 6-month position supported by a research grant. This post is expected to start on 1st September 2026 but there is some flexibility for an earlier start date.

Transmissible cancers are long-lived clonal lineages of malignant cells that operate as infectious parasites, spreading between individuals by the physical transfer of living cancer cells. Among mammals, such diseases have been described in only two species: dogs and Tasmanian devils, and are spread by mating and biting, respectively.

This position is suited for someone with skills in computational biology and clinical training, and with an interest in comparative cancer evolution and tumour immunology. The role-holder will perform analysis of genome and transcriptome data from tumours belonging to transmissible cancer lineages. The role-holder will analyse MHC and other immune gene genotypes.

Applicants should hold a Master's degree in evolutionary biology and a medical or veterinary qualification, and should have experience in MHC gene annotation and interpretation in the context of transmissible cancer. They should have knowledge of immunotherapies and how these are used to treat cancer. The candidate must value teamwork and collaboration, have good organisational and interpersonal skills, and should be able to effectively manage their time. They will have the opportunity to make their own original contribution to the field of study within the framework of the project.

The Project: This 3 year PhD project is embedded in the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Vaccines & Immunisation, a collaboration between the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge.

Based at the University of Cambridge and supervised by Professor Caroline Trotter, the student who should have or should expect to obtain a minimum of a UK 2:1 Honours Degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject, will work closely with colleagues at UKHSA and other members of the HPRU.

The student will develop a framework for making decisions about vaccines that more formally considers the effect on the immunisation programme as a whole. They will then apply this draft framework to specific case studies and assess whether and how decision-making could be influenced, leading to further refinement.

The student will develop skills in infectious disease epidemiology, mathematical modelling of vaccine preventable diseases and health economics. The public are ultimately the 'vaccine consumers' and as such should be involved in framing and shaping vaccine research, so the student should also develop and execute a plan for public involvement and engagement.

Funding: Funding will be available to cover fees at the home fee rate plus a tax-free student maintenance starting at £20,199 for three years. This PhD is supported by the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Immunisation and covers research costs in addition to home fees and maintenance. Start Date: January 2027 How to apply: Contact the Supervisor to discuss the project before submitting an official application.
Deadline to apply: 10th July 2026 (shortlisted applicants will be invited to interview before end of July 2026)
