About the Candidate
NPL wishes to appoint two Higher Scientists in Biomolecular Synthesis and Assembly to support the lab’s ambition to establish a National Institute in Engineering biology. The posts will be integrated within the NPL’s Centre for Engineering Biology, Metrology, and Standards and Cryo-EM laboratories.
The Centre is a multidisciplinary team developing innovative tools, materials, and reference standards to address the challenges of reproducibility, traceability, and comparability in Engineering Biology.
In your work at NPL, you will:
- establish a state-of-the-art facility for DNA synthesis and assembly
- -operate, develop, and maintain the facility
- perform research involving the design, synthesis, assembly of DNA
- collect and analyse data and prepare technical reports for publications and commercial contracts
- contribute to the delivery of various R&D projects in partnership with industry
- support collaborative initiatives with industry and research organisations in the UK and abroad
We are now working in a hybrid way, with a mix of remote and office working. We strive to offer a great work life balance - if you are looking for full time, part time or flexible options, we will try to make this work where possible. This will be dependent on the kind of role you do and part of the business you work in.
