Where Discovery Never Stops - Be part of Something Bigger.

We offer careers and roles in just about every area you can think of. Whether you’re looking to take the next step in your current specialism, explore a new challenge, or broaden your experience, we offer opportunities where you can flourish and make a real difference. Our people come from a wide range of backgrounds, each bringing their abilities and experiences to our organisation, helping us thrive and innovate together.

The University isn’t just any employer. We are part of a local community and a contributor to global thinking, progress and research. In Edinburgh, you are in one of the world’s most attractive cities with active arts and social sectors, while working in a University that has made significant contributions to society, medicine, physics and teaching for over four centuries. Our people have helped create the modern world and are working on more ground-breaking technologies and practices.

Here, you can continue to make a difference in everything around you. Take on new challenges, grow your career, be recognised for your contributions, and benefit from our commitment to your wellbeing. Be part of something bigger — where your work has real impact and your development matters. There are so many reasons to take your next step with us.

The Opportunity:

Our technical staff are essential to supporting research, and the smooth operation of our facilities. Whether you're maintaining cutting-edge lab equipment, facilitating ground-breaking research, developing new techniques, or enhancing student and staff experience with top-notch facilities, your work will have a lasting impact that stretches far beyond our academic community.

The Role

The complexity of the human brain makes understanding nervous system diseases challenging. Cultures of single human cell types and rodent models do not fully capture the complexity of human brain diseases in the way living human brain tissue does. Working with the group leaders in the UKRI Edinburgh Human Brain Cluster, and senior technicians, you will support the delivery of research, with focus on coordinating, preparing and maintaining the living human brain slice cultures. You will also provide day-to-day laboratory support, including preparation of solutions, collation of data, immunohistochemistry.

People have always been at the heart of our work. Our people are at the centre of the University community and everything we do. We value colleagues with drive, determination and a passion for what they do. We are a place where everyone is welcome and offer a range of policies and benefits designed to support you in building the right meaningful flexibility that works for you.

A career with us has a range of other benefits that can be tailored to your lifestyle:

Professional development and subject matter expertise
Opportunities to develop new skills and broaden your experience
Leading-edge research

This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns.
