Senior Biologist
We are seeking an experienced Senior Biologist to lead and deliver high-quality biological research, development and analysis across a range of projects. The successful candidate will design and oversee experimental programmes, interpret complex data and provide scientifically robust recommendations to support project objectives. You will contribute to the development and refinement of laboratory methods, maintain accurate records and ensure that all work is conducted in accordance with relevant legislation, quality standards, health and safety requirements and approved procedures.
Your responsibilities will include planning experimental workflows, managing competing priorities and reviewing results to identify trends, risks and opportunities for further investigation. You will prepare technical reports, study plans, protocols and presentations, communicating findings clearly to both scientific and non-specialist audiences. The role will also involve supervising or mentoring junior colleagues, supporting training and capability development, and collaborating effectively with multidisciplinary teams and external partners. You will be expected to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, help resolve technical challenges and maintain awareness of current developments in relevant biological disciplines.
Applicants should hold a degree or equivalent qualification in biology, life sciences, molecular biology, biochemistry or a related subject, together with substantial relevant experience in a laboratory, research or applied scientific environment. Strong practical knowledge of experimental design, data analysis and scientific documentation is essential, as is the ability to assess results critically and make evidence-based decisions. Experience of relevant laboratory techniques, instrumentation, quality systems and regulatory requirements would be advantageous. You should be organised, analytical and confident working independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement and a commitment to scientific integrity are required.
