Do you have a passion for making a difference? Could you drive our work looking to control an important animal disease and protect animal welfare? Does working with dynamic science teams delivering innovative tools for disease management appeal? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Work Group Leader to head up a team delivering applied research, surveillance support, and national and international reference laboratory functions within our bovine tuberculosis (bTB) portfolio.
This is an opportunity for the right individual to build a profile for themselves while making a real difference addressing a high impact issue for agriculture and the wider GB economy.
This post is based at our specialised laboratory site in Weybridge, Surrey where an extensive redevelopment programme is underway to provide world-class facilities for our science and people.
We are looking for an established scientist with considerable experience of developing and delivering scientific research and/or surveillance, ideally in an area within the remit of the workgroup and the scientific credibility to act as a figurehead for science outside their own immediate area of expertise.
You will provide both scientific and resourcing leadership to the Workgroup and be a key member of the wider Department of Bacteriology senior management team.
You will need to be able to lead and inspire your team to deliver the best science developing them and yourself to maximise your impact and potential.
Inclusion, support and the development of our people matter to us. We aim to support the career and personal wellbeing of everyone in APHA.Our benefits include generous annual leave, a contributory pension, staff bonuses and recognition, salary sacrifice benefit options, and an employee discount scheme.
We also offer flexible working.Closing date:
Friday 23 August 2024.
