Edinburgh, United Kingdom Malvern Panalytical Ltd Full time

We are Malvern Panalytical. We’re big on small.

We are here to unleash the power of very small things to make big things happen. Our technologies enable our customers to create a better world. Improving everything from the energies that power us and the materials we build with, to the medicines that cure us and the foods we enjoy. We partner with many of the world’s biggest companies, universities and research organizations. They value us not only for the power of our solutions, but also for the depth of our expertise, collaboration and integrity. We are a globally diverse mix of visionary thinkers, creative problem-solvers, and detail-loving geeks, united by knowing that when you can make the invisible visible, you make the impossible possible.

What’s the placement?

We are looking for the next generation of Scientists to join Concept Life Sciences. The placement is for undergraduate scientists who will work within the Concept Life Sciences team as Assistant Scientists, in one of our locations in the UK.

Concept Life Sciences is a Malvern Panalytical Brand, our team of over 250+ scientists are known for providing ‘contract research services’ which means we design and perform research experiments to solve our client’s problems and help them deliver the products of the future. We focus on our customers and are proud of the difference our contributions make. We partner with some of the biggest and most innovative scientific companies in the world.

Where you’ll work:
This will depend on where your expertise and studies sit. We have openings for undergraduates to join each of the following locations:
Biology Services in Edinburgh - You will join our immunology and neuroscience experts at the BioQuarter in Edinburgh, a hub for medical research and life sciences innovation. You will benefit from the shared onsite facilities within the scientific community in Scotland’s capital.

Chemistry Services in Chapel-en-le-Frith (Derbyshire) and Sandwich (Kent) - Our synthetic and medicinal chemists are based in two locations, and we are looking to recruit in both. You will either be based near the hills of the Peak District, joining our team of Chemists with on-site facilities in newly renovated laboratories. Or you will join our team in Kent at the Discovery Park, a hub for science which benefits from shared space and facilities in a vibrant scientific community.

Analytical Services in Bradford - Our Analytical Services team provide a wide range of Analytical solutions from our site based centrally in Bradford. Being one of our smaller sites, you will benefit from working closely with our expert scientists who are big on collaboration and making science fun.

Some of the things you’ll be doing:
As an undergraduate in Biology, Chemistry or Analytical, you will join our team of Scientists who will support you to develop your problem-solving skills and give you your first experience of doing true scientific research. You will be making and/or testing prototype medicines and new products for the very first time. Or even looking to understand the biological mechanisms behind diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders.

We encourage one another’s dreams and goals and together we celebrate success. During the placement you will be part of a development team and help with the ongoing development work, in addition to this you will be assigned an individual project to be completed over the year with us.

Take a look at the type of projects you would be working on:

- Assistant Scientist - Biology - A Degree in the biological sciences or equivalent, Innovative Assays for Drug Discovery Programs
- Working in a team of immunology and neuroscience experts you will have the opportunity to learn a range of techniques such as tissue culture, monoculture and co-culture assays, phenotypical and functional analysis of primary rodent and human cells, flow cytometry, ELISA, multiplex, MSD, gene expression analysis whilst developing new complex
_in vitro_ assays to answer key questions our clients have about their drug product’s biological mode of action.

What you need to know:

- This is a full-time position with a working pattern of 37.5 hours, Monday to Friday. Although we also have options to flex this.
- You will need to be available and ready to start with us at the beginning of July 2023 and be able to commit to stay with us until the end of July 2024
- You will receive lots of benefits from being part of our team but of course you will need some time away, so we provide you with 25 days paid holiday per annum + UK bank holidays
- You will be paid an annual salary of £18,525

As part of your role, we also ask the year in industry placement students to be STEM Ambassadors for the company, lead on STEM activities and represent Malvern Panalytical at STEM events throughout the year.

We are proud to be globally diverse and inclusive. We’re all different - though together, we sh
