4 weeks ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Oxford Brookes University Full time

We are looking for a laboratory technician to support the Bioinnovation Hub labs at Oxford Brookes University. This is a great opportunity to deliver the smooth day-to-day running of a busy set of laboratories, which is home to both university research groups and small biotechnology companies and working alongside a small friendly team of highly skilled dedicated lab technicians. You will be looking after a range of equipment, delivering induction, training and support to lab users and also assisting with management of the university's antibody portfolio.

The laboratory technician's main responsibilities will be:

  • To provide technical support and an overall laboratory environment that is working to 'good laboratory practice' for the research groups and companies within the Bioinnovation Hub.
  • To assist the Bioinnovation Hub manager with lab inductions for new starters and provide ongoing training and support for staff, students and visitors, including health and safety.
  • To have oversight for the storage and disposal of chemicals and other waste materials.
  • To take responsibility for monitoring and maintaining the laboratories to a high standard. These include tissue culture facilities and liquid nitrogen cell stores, cold rooms and equipment rooms.
  • To have responsibility for routine maintenance and operational support of communal equipment, and assisting the Hub manager in arranging repairs, acting as the main point of contact for engineers visiting the laboratory.
  • To monitor and order stocks of specialised reagents, materials and equipment. Assist the Hub manager in gathering quotes for equipment, servicing and other lab-related activities.
  • To assist in managing the university proprietary antibody catalogue including monitoring stock levels, receiving and processing orders, and arranging shipments.

Qualifications, skills and experience

We are looking for a well-qualified enthusiastic scientist who is familiar with a wide range of laboratory techniques, and who is interested in applying their scientific knowledge and technical expertise to the different interesting challenges that arise in a research and development lab environment. The role involves working with a range of stakeholders so good communication skills are crucial. We are also looking for someone who will become a part of our small but efficient technical team, and who will be happy sharing team responsibilities, as well as bringing their unique knowledge and experience.

The minimum requirements for this laboratory technician post are:

  • HNC/HND or appropriate BSc/MSc in a relevant biology discipline or extensive appropriate laboratory experience.
  • Substantial experience working in a laboratory undertaking a range of techniques relevant to cell/tissue culture, biochemistry, microbiology and/or molecular biology.
  • Experience in lab health and safety documentation and procedures, or ability to demonstrate an understanding of health and safety in a lab.
  • Good communication and practical skills.

This role will not attract sufficient points to obtain a sponsored Skilled Worker visa under the points-based immigration system, and will be dependent on the candidate meeting criteria to rely on tradeable points.

At Oxford Brookes, inclusivity is one of our five guiding principles: we take positive steps to create an environment in which we celebrate, value and provide equal opportunity to all. We are committed to recruiting from the widest possible pool and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates who embrace our values, regardless of their background.

As a Disability Confident Employer, we guarantee to interview any disabled applicant who meets the essential selection criteria.
