Join us
The CIV Lab hosts research students working across cellular immunology, tissue-resident memory T cells, RNA biology, vaccine development and infectious disease immunology.
Our work combines mechanistic immunology, experimental models, transcriptomics and translational approaches to understand how protective T cell immunity is generated and how it can be harnessed for vaccines and immune interventions.
Honours and undergraduate research projects
Honours and undergraduate research projects are available for highly motivated students interested in immunology, RNA biology, infection biology or vaccinology.
Projects are designed to provide strong conceptual and experimental training while contributing to the broader research directions of the laboratory. Depending on the project, students may gain experience in:
- flow cytometry and immune profiling
- T cell biology and vaccination models
- transcriptomics and RNA-focused approaches
- experimental infection models
- data analysis and scientific communication
The laboratory places strong emphasis on rigorous experimental design, critical thinking, independence and scientific discussion. Curiosity matters. So does resilience when biology decides your beautiful hypothesis was decorative.
Several previous Honours students have continued into HDR and research pathways.
Postdoctoral opportunities
Postdoctoral positions are advertised when funded opportunities become available. Researchers with strong alignment to the laboratory’s interests in T cell biology, RNA biology or translational vaccinology may occasionally contact Daniel regarding future opportunities or fellowship-based applications.
Collaborations
The laboratory welcomes collaborative interactions across immunology, RNA biology, genomics, vaccinology and infectious disease research.
