.DescripciónThe Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) is a cutting-edge institute addressing global public health challenges through research, translation into policy, and education.ISGlobal has a broad portfolio in communicable and non-communicable diseases including environmental and climate determinants and applies a multidisciplinary scientific approach ranging from the molecular to the population level.Research is organized in the following main areas: Malaria and other Infectious Diseases, Maternal, Child and Reproductive Health, Urban Health, and Child and Environmental Health, Climate & Non-Communicable Diseases.ISGlobal is accredited with the Severo Ochoa distinction, a seal of excellence of the Spanish Science Ministry.LugarBarcelona, Campus Clinic-CEKWHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORISGlobal is looking for an experienced predoctoral researcher or junior postdoc to establish functional immunological assays after infection or vaccination.
Activities carried out in the project aim to investigate functional immune mechanisms of vaccine-induced protection against infectious diseases and identify correlates of vaccine-induced protection.
The overall goals are to identify biomarkers of disease and immunity and understand the mechanisms and mediators of protective immunity induced by infection and vaccines using multidimensional clinical, epidemiological, immunological, and molecular data.This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No, ENDING COVID 19 VARIANTS OF CONCERN THROUGH COHORT STUDIES (END-VOC).KEY RESPONSABILITIESThe purpose of the position is to establish assays to perform functional immune profiling studies in the context of infectious diseases and vaccines.
The position includes laboratory analysis of samples using multiplex and cytometry technologies.
The position will require experience in antibody assays including Luminex, and cellular (innate and adaptive) cultures and assays, as well as some basic statistics and data management.
The position is based at ISGlobal in Barcelona.SPECIFIC DUTIESDesign and implement functional antibody and cellular assaysCarry out data cleaning, QA/QC, and preprocessingBasic data management and descriptive statisticsPrepare data reports and manuscriptsAUXILIAR TASKSThis job description reflects the present requirements of the post but may evolve at any time in the future as duties and responsibilities change and/or develop, providing there is appropriate consultation with the post-holder.
