Benefits We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days' leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities. The post is based at the Centre for Haemato-Oncology, Barts Cancer Institute. It is full time, fixed term for 12 months, with an expected start date of April 2025. The starting salary will be Grade 4 (SP 26-33), in the range of £38,082 - £45,622 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance.

Barts Cancer Institute , Queen Mary University London
About the Role Applications are sought for an exciting opportunity within the Ciccarelli lab, within the Centre for Cancer Evolution , Barts Cancer Institute. We are seeking an independent, highly motivated computational Postdoctoral Research Assistant to lead on an established and successful research line aimed at understanding the role of the tumour immune microenvironment (TIME) in response to immunotherapy. The Ciccarelli lab is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary and the ability to work in a team is essential. Most projects are shared across team members as we think that active collaboration rather than competition leads to scientific progress. Our group is based at the Barts Cancer Institute and are affiliated with the Francis Crick Institute, a pioneering biomedical research institute in London where our wet lab is located. We are also part of Cancer Research UK City of London Centre, which sponsor our high-performance computer cluster facility. About You The successful candidate will be expected to have a PhD degree in biological sciences, with knowledge of computational genomics. Significant research laboratory experience in genomic and transcriptomic data analysis is essential, as well as experience in statistics and coding. About the School/Department/Institute/Project This project stems from previous work where we showed that TIME composition determines response to immunotherapy (Bortolomeazzi Gastroenterology 2021) and identified a marker of this ideal TIME using a combination of spatial transcriptomics and immunostaining (Acha-Sagredo Cancer Cell 2025). In parallel, we developed computational methods for the analysis of spatial omics data (Bortolomeazzi Nature Comms 2022) and clustering of rare cell populations (Martens, Bioinformatics 2023) About Queen Mary At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable. Throughout our history, we've fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence.
