Who are we?

We are the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) - the UK’s leading institution for integrated coastal and deep ocean research. Through our ground-breaking research, collaboration, and game-changing innovation we work to gain a deeper understanding of our ocean, helping every living thing on our planet flourish.

We are made up of a dynamic and vibrant community focused on solving challenging long-term marine science problems, underpinning international and UK public policy, business and societal outcomes.

The ocean has the potential to provide the solutions to so many of the social, economic and environmental challenges we face worldwide. To truly harness the value of the ocean, we put ocean research, science and discovery at the heart of our culture.

Join us in shaping the future of oceanographic research and contribute your unique perspective to our organisation.

About the role

The Scientific & Technical Specialist Group work with scientists within the NOC, as well as nationally and internationally, to develop and provide world class analytical services and methodologies, managing internationally important deep-sea sample collections and facilities, and managing all aspects of science project coordination.

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Entry-Level Microbiology Technician to support research activities within the biology labs at the National Oceanography Centre. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or candidate with relevant laboratory experience who is looking to develop practical skills in microbiology, microscopy, molecular biology and chemical imaging, within an academic research environment.

The successful candidate will assist with microscopy and chemical imaging work, the maintenance of microbial cultures, preparation of laboratory materials, preparation for and participation in oceanographic expeditions.

About you

You will be motivated to participate in oceanographic expeditions. You will demonstrate strong attention to detail, excellent organisational skills, and a commitment to maintaining high standards of laboratory safety, quality, and compliance. You will be able to work as part of a multidisciplinary team and communicate clearly with academic staff, researchers, students, and external stakeholders.

A proactive approach to problem-solving, a willingness to support research activities, and an enthusiasm for contributing to a collaborative environment are essential.

Why NOC?

We offer a generous set of benefits, including:

30 days contractual annual leave, plus 3.5 extra closure days and bank holidays

a 10% employer contribution pension scheme (with a 15% NI saving on employee contributions made above 5%, if in the salary sacrifice scheme)

Death in Service (3 times annual salary) provided by Aviva from day one of employment, plus access to a range of other Aviva wellbeing services

financial support for relocation

a salary sacrifice scheme for electric / hybrid vehicles (qualifying period applies)

a great working environment with a number of social events, including summer and Christmas celebrations

we are proud to be a Living Wage Employer
