The Role
You will be part of a team with focus on islet isolation, conducting research with islets and supporting others with pancreas / islet research. This is an exciting post where key challenges in islet transplantation are being addressed. The project has the potential to become a new clinical standard of care in human islet transplantation.

Funded by EPSRC/MRC and Industry. Reporting to the Technical Manager, the role will require specific technical and practical skills and a well-developed working knowledge of technical practices and procedures, acquired by considerable experience on the job and/or vocational training. The post will work as part of a professional community to provide a technical support service to staff and students by following established working patterns, but there will be a need to resolve most problems without access to more senior colleagues. The role may involve developing skills in a particular specialist area or planning and supervising the work of others.

This post is offered on a fixed-term basis to 30 November 2025.

Please note that if you are successful to this role, you will require medical clearance before you can commence in the role.
