Job description

We are seeking a laboratory lead for our newly established Single Cell Omics Platform at the Centre for Inflammation Biology and Cancer Immunology (CIBCI) at Guy’s Campus, King’s College London (KCL).  

We are building a new platform and team to apply state-of-the-art single cell transcriptomics for various projects within the School of Immunology and Microbial Sciences and the Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine. The post-holder will be based at CIBCI, Guy's Campus (KCL). The omics approaches will be supported by flow cytometry-based approaches for, for example, data validation. 

We are looking for someone who will serve as a technical lead of this new laboratory. The post holder will be required to establish the platform in coordination with the small group of principal investigators (PIs) leading on this initiative. As such, we are seeking someone who strives for excellence, has high standards of scientific research conduct, excellent communication skills and who has experience in single cell (preferably) or state-of-the art transcriptomics technologies. The post holder will liaise and manage the day-to-day running of the platform and oversee the multiple projects that will be undertaken within the laboratory. They will communicate with multiple parties (principal investigators, suppliers) and, in regular consultation with the relevant PIs (see above) oversee the overall running of the laboratory and the prioritisation of its activities. We want the appointed individual to be the ‘go to’ person for those who require single cell omics experiments. 

Experience in specialised techniques such as library preparation and sequencing are essential; knowledge of flow cytometry and cell sorting is desirable, although training will be provided as necessary. Experience in supervision is essential; experience in managing a team is desirable. The post-holder will also have direct or indirect experience with bioinformatics support and will be the person who integrates the needs and requirements of each project, connects the right parties with each other, and is able to tailor pipelines depending on the demands of each project. The successful candidate should be flexible, rigorous, self-motivated, and work independently, but also with the ability to work with and lead a team. Thus, good interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to work enthusiastically and effectively as part of a team are essential. 

The position encompasses a breadth of activities, including: 

  • To supervise the lab team performing day to day work.  
  • To act as a key liaison between principal investigators (PIs) and the SCO platform.  
  • To aid in experimental design and budget requirements of principal investigators that want to use the SCO platform. 
  • To provide specialist advice to researchers, establish and maintain collaborative working relationships. Participate at relevant operational meetings.  
  • Where appropriate, the post-holder should provide training on specialised laboratory skills to junior staff and students. 
  • To manage the budget of the SCO platform effectively and in compliance with audits 
  • To supervise potential students that come in the facility. 
  • To respect and demonstrate the key principles of scientific integrity, probity, and professionalism.

This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 2 years
