About the Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Laboratory Technician to contribute to high-quality and innovative research in the field of experimental medicine, focusing on two key projects led by Professor Ellie Barnes. The first is DeLIVER, a national multi-site programme, funded by Cancer Research UK. The DeLIVER consortium brings together a team of clinicians, scientists and industry partners and aims to provide a better understanding of the changes within the liver that lead to Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC, liver cancer) and to identify novel methods to detect liver cancer at the earliest stages when curative therapies may be applied. The second is the Barnes Group Vaccine Programme, involving the development, optimisation and evaluation of novel vaccines for use in patients with chronic disease.

The role involves large-scale sample processing, sample shipping, and supplies management to support the activities for DeLIVER. The role will also require supporting the execution of molecular biology experiments for the generation of new vaccines, and to support during the execution of advanced immunological techniques for the assessment of vaccine responses in mice and/or humans.

You will require flexibility to support the research on going on both sites (John Radcliffe Hospital and Peter Medawar Building). Appropriate arrangements will be made to split the time accordingly between sites based on the studies’ requirements.
