Oxford Immunology Group, Regional Affinity Group of the BSI, (twinned with the Antibody Club, London) |
The Oxford Immunology Group (OIG) is supported by the British Society for Immunology (BSI) and aims to provide an information service and discussion forum for those working in or visiting Oxford with an interest in Immunology. The Oxford Immunology Group organises it's own meetings, with the particular aim of trying to attract visiting speakers with the widest appeal, but to also advertise the best in local immunological research.

Oxford University hosts many immunology groups integrated in various departments as summarised here . There are opportunities for new researchers at all levels in immunology from PhD positions, post docs and career development positions with several senior positions becoming vacant in the next few years. The pages of the individual groups give information about the group heads and specific projects and links to departments that give details about possible positions etc. Informal queries about positions to the relevant group lead or heads of departments are welcome. For related research in infection and immunity see separate projects in virology, microbiology and parasitology in the departments below
