Microscopy Scientist – Cellular Imaging & Dynamics

Join a world-class research group pushing the boundaries of cellular imaging and dynamic biology.

We are seeking a Microscopy Scientist to join our Imaging & Dynamics team, contributing to pioneering research across a diverse therapeutic portfolio.

About the Role

In this position, you’ll apply cutting-edge imaging technologies to explore fundamental biological questions and support discovery across multiple therapeutic areas.

You’ll work at the intersection of advanced microscopy and cell biology, driving innovation in live-cell and super-resolution imaging.

Key Responsibilities

Perform super-resolution microscopy using techniques such as STORM, SIM, and DNA-PAINT on platforms including ONI and Abbelight.

Conduct confocal and lattice light sheet microscopy, integrating data into broader research projects.

Develop and maintain custom cell-based assays, ensuring high-quality cell culture and experimental reproducibility.

Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to design experiments, analyze imaging data, and translate findings into actionable insights.

Innovate and troubleshoot experimental challenges with creativity and technical precision.

About You

You bring a strong foundation in cell biology and advanced imaging, along with a genuine passion for visualizing cellular processes in unprecedented detail.

You thrive in a collaborative, dynamic research environment, balancing independent initiative with teamwork.

Essential qualifications:

Ph.D. (or equivalent experience) in Cell Biology, Biophysics, Bioengineering, or related discipline.

Proven experience with super-resolution, confocal, and live-cell imaging.

Strong record of experimental innovation, publications, or applied research achievements.

What We Offer

1-year contract with potential for extension.

Hybrid working model – 3 days on-site, 2 from home.

The opportunity to make a tangible impact on strategic research initiatives advancing our understanding of complex biological systems.

If you’re driven by discovery and excited to apply advanced microscopy to cutting-edge biomedical research, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and be part of a team redefining how we see — and understand — cellular life

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise biotech jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and trade channels that reach biotech R&D and bioprocessing talent. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the genomics, cell therapy and AI-driven drug discovery hiring trends shaping UK biotech careers. Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
