  • Troubleshoot equipment and methods within the process of development of the assay.
  • Help to test and optimise sample consumable and ensure good integration with the assay hardware.
  • Liaise with 3rd party users of prototype consumables to gather externally validated data.
  • Validating selected pathogens in CL2 conditions.
  • Analyse, interpret and summarise results for presentation at internal meetings.
  • Documenting research findings clearly in an electronic lab book.

  • Knowledge of, and appreciation for, laboratory safety procedures.
  • Enthusiasm to work in a dynamic research environment.

Desirable

  • Ability to design and perform experiments such as real-time PCR and protein purification
  • Expertise in fluorescence labelling techniques
