About us:
Cellular Operations is comprised of several teams specialising in multiple cell biology-based fields. Cellular Services (CS) functions as a core resource at the Institute, supporting Faculty Research Programmes to deliver cellular-based research. The team plays a vital role in enabling large-scale and technically demanding experimental projects, with a strong emphasis on scalability, reproducibility, and innovation in cellular and molecular biology. Our current portfolio of projects includes large-scale CRISPR and non-CRISPR screens, the generation of new organoid models from tissues and stem cells, and high-throughput cell line engineering.
About the Role:
This is primarily a laboratory-based role, and you will work independently within a collaborative team of Research Assistants, Advanced Research Assistants, Technical Specialists and Scientific Managers. You will contribute to one or more ongoing projects as part of the team’s core scientific delivery. One of the main projects for this role is to generate iPSC-derived organoids.
You will be responsible for:
- Independently performing lab processes
- Carrying out lab work according to established SOPs to agreed timelines and quality standards.
- Maintaining accurate record keeping and contributing to the analysis, review and reporting of data collected.
- Working collaboratively with others in the team to share ideas, coordinate tasks and encourage open communication.
- Supporting the day-to-day running and organisation of a shared laboratory, contributing to writing and updating of SOPs and risk assessments and working in accordance with the H&S guidelines.
- Contributing to improvements in efficiency and quality within the department by proactively identifying issues and solutions and following through to implementation.
As part of this role, there will also be opportunities to contribute to the development of new protocols & technologies and participate in cross-functional projects with the wider CellOps division.
