Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

Would you like a laboratory research assistant role which involves working on human clinical trials of new and existing vaccines? Why not consider being a laboratory research assistant at the Oxford Vaccine Group and join the group that helped deliver the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic.

The Oxford Vaccine Group (OVG) are seeking an enthusiastic and driven Laboratory Research Assistant to join the Clinical Trials Team. The role is essential in supporting the conduct of clinical trials of important new vaccines targeting viral and bacterial infections. The main responsibilities will be daily trial administration, sample processing, archiving of global sample collections, testing of samples obtained from the clinical trials, including COVID vaccines Pertussis vaccines, new Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccines, None Typable Salmonella vaccines and also Human Typhoid/Paratyphoid Challenge studies.

You will be able to work independently, manage your own time under guidance from senior members and be proactive, participate in meetings and have good communication skills and attention to detail.

OVG conducts world-leading research into creating new, and optimising existing, vaccines for children and adults. Our research has led to the much-anticipated introduction of the Meningitis B vaccine for babies into the UK vaccination schedule, and we have been extensively involved in human trials of new vaccines to protect against SARS-CoV-2, the Ebola Virus and run internationally renowned Human Challenge Models of Enteric diseases such as Typhoid and Paratyphoid.

This is initially a 12-month fixed term contract (full time, 36.5 hours per week), although there will be requirement to have flexible working hours with availability on evenings and weekends.
