About You

We are looking for an experienced, adaptable, self-motivated person. Ideally a creative individual, with a passion for biology and living systems, and an interest in contemporary questions of science in culture, who will relish the challenge of supporting a diverse range of talented and renowned academics.

We need someone who is a good communicator, able to explain complex information clearly to a diverse audience, with an in-depth knowledge of microbiology and general biology, who is enthusiastic about imparting knowledge to students and able to meet the evolving challenge of coupling biology and design experimentation in a creative science lab context. An interest in speculative design, social context of scientific work and new media are a plus.

You’ll have excellent applied experience suited to support safe practice in a Cat.1 biology lab, including imaging and hardware operations. It would be helpful to be proficient in some relevant creative, analysis, and presentation software (e.g. Adobe software, ImageJ, and/or equivalents).
