The Babraham Institute is a charity which is world renowned for its research in life sciences to enhance lives and improve wellbeing.

We wish to recruit a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist to work towards development of novel immunostimulatory small molecule therapies that function by activating T cell responses against cancer.
