The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Technician to join an exciting translational oncology programme focused on improving precision approaches to cancer treatment.

Working within a multidisciplinary research environment, the successful candidate will support laboratory and translational activities underpinning an innovative cancer research programme with strong clinical relevance.

This role offers the opportunity to work closely with researchers and clinicians involved in advanced cancer biology, experimental therapeutics, and translational research. The postholder will contribute to the establishment and maintenance of experimental systems, processing of clinical samples, and generation of high-quality research data to support programme development.

The position is ideally suited to an individual who enjoys hands-on laboratory work, thrives in collaborative environments, and is interested in contributing to clinically impactful research.

The Role

The Research Technician will support the day-to-day laboratory and technical activities of the programme, including:

processing and handling clinical research samples
establishing and maintaining experimental cell culture systems
supporting functional laboratory assays and data generation
maintaining accurate laboratory records and sample tracking systems
contributing to optimisation and standardisation of laboratory workflows
assisting with laboratory organisation, stock management, and equipment maintenance
supporting compliance with health and safety and research governance procedures

The role will involve close interaction with researchers, clinicians, and laboratory staff across the wider translational research team.

What we are looking for

We are looking for an organised and enthusiastic individual with strong technical skills and attention to detail.

Essential:

Vocational qualification, A-levels, HNC/NVQ3, or equivalent laboratory experience
Practical experience in laboratory techniques, particularly mammalian cell culture
Ability to follow established protocols accurately and consistently
Experience maintaining organised experimental records
Good organisational and communication skills
Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality laboratory practice

Desirable:

Degree in a biological or biomedical science discipline
Experience working with primary biological samples or translational research material
Familiarity with molecular or cellular biology techniques
Experience in cancer, biomedical, or translational research environments
Experience with flow cytometry, imaging, or related laboratory techniques
Experience using databases, spreadsheets, and laboratory data systems

The Environment

The successful candidate will join a collaborative multidisciplinary research environment spanning:

translational cancer biology
clinical oncology and surgery
molecular profiling and computational analysis

The programme provides access to established infrastructure, and strong translational support and opportunities to contribute to clinically relevant research activities.

Why this role is different

This is an opportunity to contribute to a translational research programme designed to bridge laboratory science and future clinical application.

Rather than supporting isolated experiments, the successful candidate will become part of a collaborative effort focused on developing research approaches with clear potential clinical impact.

The role offers excellent experience for individuals interested in:

translational cancer research
advanced laboratory techniques
clinically aligned biomedical science
future progression within research or technical specialist careers
