  • Providing specialised training to researchers, visitors, and other Crick staff as required
  • Using knowledge to build on existing methodologies and innovate through identification, assessment, and development of new technologies
  • Contribution to the day-to-day operations to ensure the laboratory runs as efficiently as possible
  • Communication and participation in lab work discussions, lab meetings, and STP talks, to keep colleagues informed of developments
Person Specification

  • Degree (or equivalent) or extensive relevant experience
  • Extensive histology experience including embedding, microtomy, cryotomy, and tinctorial staining
  • Evidence of teaching/training experience

  • Ability to work with day-to-day independence but able to take direction when necessary
  • High degree of self-motivation
  • Ability to multi-task and integrate the demands of different activities in parallel to maintain operation of the laboratory
  • Evidence of strong trouble-shooting skills, including the ability to analyse and think creatively and independently
