Due to continued expansion and growth within the organisation our client is keen to seek high quality candidates for this position in the research programme. The vacancy has a limit of tenure of 31st May 2012 initially.

The Role:

You will supervise experimental work, training and technological development for murine cardio-metabolic phenotyping, give training on specialized techniques, experimental design and interpretation of data and be responsible for quality control of data. An important part of the role is to develop new protocols by learning new techniques at collaborating laboratories throughout the world. You will assess future work loads and requirements for space and use of the equipment.
The work involves collaboration with members of the research consortium and working with individuals on the programme at all levels from more junior technical staff through to senior scientists. You will also co-ordinate interactions between the murine programme and research programmes in collaborating organisations. Good management skills will be advantage as you will be expected to manage the core animal facility staff in the Technical Manager’s absence.

Candidate Requirements:

• PhD or Post-graduate degree in physiology, biochemistry or a related discipline (or the credited equivalent) although this is not essential for those who have several years experience within the industry.
• Home Office License holder modules 1-5
• Knowledge of HO guidelines in relation to animal experimentation
• Wide-ranging experience of working within a laboratory animal facility including substantial experience of work as scientific officer, or equivalent, in a murine phenotyping unit and, in particular, expertise in metabolic phenotyping technology.
• The ability to perform complex experimental protocols on laboratory animals and to learn and teach techniques required by the organisation as well as the ability to design develop and implement new experimental methodologies.
