It's a great time to join our team - we have helped to make huge leaps in the fight against COVID-19 and have recently been awarded a Breakthrough of the Year award at the European Mediscience Awards 2020.
We also have an exciting new venture, which involves developing CE IVD diagnostic assays and designing innovative molecular diagnostics solutions. You'll have the chance to lead the team who are heavily involved in these activities and make a difference to the future of the healthcare industry.
So, if you want to work in a supportive and engaging environment and support the development of products that are making an impact on a global scale, we want to hear from you.

- Previous PCR knowledge and hands-on experience
- Experience of handling Hazard Group 2 organisms in a Category 2 Laboratory
- The ability to plan experiments, problem solve and progress projects independently
- A bachelor's degree at grade 2:1 or above in a relevant scientific field (or equivalent)
