We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Senior Flow Cytometry Technician to join the Flow Cytometry Facility within the School of the Biological Sciences, based in the Department of Pathology at the University of Cambridge.
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a small, supportive team (currently two staff members) at the heart of a vibrant, multidisciplinary research environment.
About the Facility The Flow Cytometry Facility is located in central Cambridge on Tennis Court Road and comprises three dedicated laboratory spaces. The facility is equipped with a broad range of state-of-the-art instrumentation, including:
- Five analysers: two Cytek Aurora spectral cytometers, Thermo Fisher Attune NxT, Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX LX, and CytoFLEX S
- Two cell sorters: Waters Biosciences FACSDiscover S8 and FACSAria
The FACSDiscover S8 is a cutting-edge, imaging-enabled spectral cell sorter, the first of its kind, combining full spectral flow cytometry with real-time spatial and morphological insights, enabling powerful new approaches to cell analysis and sorting. The facility supports a wide user base across Cambridge, including researchers from Pathology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Physiology, Development and Neuroscience, Chemistry, Plant Sciences, and the Gurdon Institute.
