Biotechnology Jobs

Ellison Institute of Technology · Oxford

Design and conduct experiments on nanopore technologies, single-molecule analysis, and 3D tissue engineering, spanning chemistry, biology, physics and engineering. Postdocs lead development of emerging biotech methods, publish impactful research, and mentor junior researchers within a 100+ researcher institute.

Moderna · Oxford

Designs and delivers immunogenicity and bioanalytical strategies for regulated clinical programmes, developing ADA, nAb, PK and PD assays using ELISA, MSD and cell culture. Works with multidisciplinary teams to validate assays, manage reagents and SOPs, and integrate digital and AI-enabled tools. Site-based at Harwell within a growing mRNA-focused team.

Francis Crick Institute · London · £47,500 pa

Investigates how protein machines remodel microtubules using cryo-electron microscopy, protein reconstitution and fluorescence microscopy. As an early member of a new lab, you will shape the research programme, establish experimental approaches and develop scientific independence while working closely with the group leader.

University of Oxford · Oxford · £39,424 – £43,984 pa

Carries out laboratory research on synthetic genome DNA assembly, generating constructs and testing new approaches using recombinant DNA methylases. Involves molecular cloning, long DNA molecule extraction, bacterial culture and recombinant protein production and purification, with scope for some bioinformatic analysis. Based in a well-equipped Oxford lab, collaborating on translation of synthetic chloroplast genomes into crop plants such as potato and wheat.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals · Oxford

A 12-month laboratory-based industrial placement within the Structural Biology & Biophysics department, working at the interface with Biology on a collaborative project. The role involves membrane protein preparation and reconstitution into lipid-based model systems, functional characterisation using electrophysiology, and interpreting biochemical and biophysical data to support early drug discovery.

CSL · Opfikon, Switzerland

Leads safety review and end-to-end signal detection across a product's lifecycle, using quantitative and qualitative methods alongside Global Safety Leads. Contributes to aggregate safety reports, risk management plans and regulatory responses, and mentors junior PVS staff. Works cross-functionally with Development, Medical Affairs and Regulatory teams on vaccine and national-significance products.

CSL · Maidenhead

Leads safety surveillance and signal detection across a product's lifecycle, reviewing clinical and post-marketing data and contributing to aggregate safety reports and risk management plans. Partners with Global Safety Leads and cross-functional teams, mentors junior scientists, and supports regulatory responses.

Moderna · Oxford

Develops, validates and runs ligand-binding and cell-based bioanalytical assays generating pharmacodynamic and immunogenicity data for clinical mRNA programmes. Works in a GcLP-regulated lab using Thermo Watson LIMS and electronic notebooks, handling clinical samples, critical reagents, SOPs and validation reports while partnering with Clinical Operations and Sample Management.

CSL · Maidenhead

Provides medical and scientific expertise on clinical safety across the full product lifecycle, with emphasis on evaluating safety data during clinical development and post-approval. Chairs the Safety Management Team, oversees signal detection, aggregate reports (DSURs, PSURs, RMPs) and regulatory responses, and sets safety strategy for global cross-functional development and post-marketing teams.

CSL · Opfikon, Switzerland

Provides medical and scientific expertise on clinical safety across a product's lifecycle, with emphasis on signal detection, risk management and regulatory submissions. Chairs the Safety Management Team, oversees aggregate reports such as DSURs, PSURs and RMPs, and acts as the safety representative in cross-functional development and post-marketing teams.
