Where we are hiring
Postdoctoral researchers
For scientists in mucosal immunology and vaccine engineering ready to lead an independent line of work — from oral vaccine design to antibody–glycan interactions and bacterial strain replacement in the gut.
Enquire about postdocsPhD students
Doctoral projects across microbial ecology, quantitative live-imaging of the gut, mass-spectrometry-driven metabolomics and the immunology of secretory IgA. Often co-supervised across disciplines and institutes.
Enquire about PhDsMasters & rotation students
Semester and thesis projects for Oxford and Basel students. A chance to join an ongoing programme — from glycoconjugate vaccines to microbiota engineering — with close day-to-day supervision.
Enquire about projectsTechnical & lab roles
Lab manager and technical specialist roles supporting oral vaccine production, gnotobiotic work and protein/polysaccharide biochemistry — the backbone that keeps the science running.
Enquire about rolesHow we work
Collaborative by default
Understanding how the gut immune system shapes the microbiome takes people working closely across immunology, microbial ecology, chemistry and engineering. We hire for curiosity and for the willingness to learn from one another.
A safe place to push boundaries
We want a group where brilliant scientists feel supported enough to take real risks at the edge of what is known — and where everyone is there to back each other up.
From bench to barn to clinic
Our work runs from molecular mechanism to interventions that have to hold up in the field, the clinic and the barn. We value people who care about the translational endpoint as much as the experiment.
