We are seeking to appoint a Research Technician to fully support research laboratory activities, ensuring that the laboratories are prepared for experimentation and are compliant with relevant Health and Safety and other legislative or policy requirements.

- Good IT skills, and an ability to effectively use software such as excel and powerpoint is required

- Ability to carry out procedures in an accurate and timely manner, and contribute to process improvement
- Ability to work with minimal supervision towards pre-defined goals
- Proven experience of completing tasks to a high level of accuracy
