You will be a proactive, enthusiastic and versatile individual to undertake this exciting role in the Department. You should have experience working within a biological lab environment, be an excellent communicator with good organisation skills, keen attention to detail, and the ability to make decisions on your own whilst also working effectively as part as a wider team.
