  • Perform bench-based experiments to drive delivery of particularly complex projects.
  • Advise senior management on strategic decision-making.
  • Oversee roll-out of new protocols to the production team.
  • Key Qualifications:

  • Either: A Master's degree plus 10 years of research experience in tissues R&D or A PhD in molecular/cell/tissue biology or a related field, plus 6 years of relevant post-PhD experience
  • Deep understanding of tissue and cell biology, and experience working with a range of human tissue and cell types.
  • Scientific expertise in tissue preparation and profiling methods such as histology, immunohistochemistry, tissue dissociation and FACS.
  • Evidence of an ability to devise novel solutions to research challenges and drive technological innovation.
  • Experience with line management of research scientists.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, including preparation and delivery of high quality presentations.
  • Excellent project planning and prioritization skills, and a proven ability to balance competing priorities.
  • Ability to work successfully in a matrix environment, where tasks may be assigned by people other than your direct line manager.
  • An understanding of next generation sequencing methods.
  • A high degree of energy, accuracy and attention to detail, and a passion for contributing to work leading to the creation of transformative medicines for patients with serious diseases.
  • Location: Cambridge, UK
