Join us at the world-leading CRUK Cambridge Institute. We're a unique department of the University of Cambridge, core funded by Cancer Research UK's charitable activities, and we're eagerly searching for an experienced Senior Scientific Associate (Laboratory Manager) to join our Wang Group.

The Wang Group develops and applies cutting-edge imaging and sequencing methods to bridge the gap between high resolution microscopy and genome-wide discovery. Our research program is focused on creating a quantitative, multi-scale understanding of the cell to reveal fundamental principles linking molecular-level organisation to cellular functions and pathological states.

We seek an experienced, organised and collaborative individual for this role, which combines laboratory management and scientific support with hands-on experimental research. You will have the unique opportunity to take on a leadership role in a new lab, assisting Dr. Wang in managing projects in the lab, developing new scientific directions, and providing technical assistance and guidance to PhD students, postdocs and research assistants.

We are interested in individuals who are flexible in leading independent projects, as well as working collaboratively within and outside of the group, and helping others when needed. You should be enthusiastic about setting up a positive lab culture, including effective teamwork, communication and organised systems (for data/code/reagents/record keeping). You should be detail-oriented and have a positive, can-do attitude to problem-solving.
