Biologist 2
We are seeking a Biologist 2 to support laboratory and field-based investigations involving biological samples, environmental monitoring, and applied research. The successful candidate will carry out established procedures, assist with experimental planning, and contribute to the collection, processing, analysis, and interpretation of biological data. This role is suited to a detail-oriented professional who can work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Key responsibilities include preparing samples, reagents, equipment, and materials; conducting routine and specialised laboratory analyses; maintaining accurate electronic and written records; and ensuring that results are documented clearly and delivered within agreed timescales. You will assist with field surveys and sampling activities, follow approved protocols, monitor quality control measures, and identify or report unusual findings. The role also involves maintaining laboratory facilities and equipment, supporting inventory management, contributing to technical reports and presentations, and assisting with the development or improvement of standard operating procedures. You may be required to train or provide guidance to less experienced staff and collaborate with colleagues on research, regulatory, or operational projects.
Applicants should hold a degree in biology, ecology, environmental science, microbiology, or a related discipline, together with relevant professional experience in laboratory, field, or research settings. Experience with biological sampling, microscopy, molecular or analytical techniques, data management, and statistical or spreadsheet software would be advantageous. You should demonstrate sound scientific judgement, strong organisational skills, accurate record keeping, and the ability to interpret technical information. A commitment to health and safety, quality standards, ethical practices, and confidentiality is essential. The role may involve handling biological materials, working in laboratory environments, and travelling to field locations, so flexibility and a practical approach are required.
