It is essential that the successful applicant has experience of bacterial and mammalian cell culture, and should be eager to learn new techniques and equipment. An interest in knowledge transfer and the Continuous Professional Development of themselves and others would also be beneficial.
With extensive work experience in a similar work environment (e.g., microbiology lab) and with relevant scientific qualifications (e.g., HNC/HND, BSc), the post holder will have proven technical abilities.
A varied skillset is desirable which might include: cell culture, microscopy and immunofluorescence imaging, cell proliferation assays, cell based assays, transfection, DNA sequencing, protein purification, RT-PCR, electrophoresis and western blotting and flow cytometry.
The role is customer-facing and the School is a diverse and international community of staff and students. The post holder will therefore have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and a strong commitment to service delivery.
This role is full-time, open-ended and available immediately.
A full list of main responsibilities and the knowledge, skills and experience required for the role can be found in the full job description below.
Your skills and attributes for success:
Passion for biology and bio-technology. Proven technical fault-finding and problem solving skills. Good understanding of health & safety regulations and procedures in a laboratory environment (including COSHH and biological containment). Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
