Experience aligned to the person specification is essential. The role is 35 hours per week, and some flexibility, including occasional evening or weekend work, will be required to support laboratory activities and outreach. 

The postholder may be able to study for a relevant part-time PhD at Leeds Trinity University, with the potential for a fee waiver subject to a successful application and availability of supervisory expertise. 

This role is campus-based at Leeds Trinity University, Horsforth, and requires a consistent on-site presence to support day-to-day laboratory operations and student learning.
