Basecamp Research London
Owns R&D extraction workflow development, adapting and optimising metagenomic DNA/RNA extraction methods across diverse, low-biomass and inhibitor-rich sample types, including HMW extractions for long-read sequencing. Designs controlled experiments, transfers validated methods to production and a global partner network, and works in a data-first lab environment feeding a large gene atlas.
Evotec Macclesfield
Designs and executes work plans for early drug discovery projects within a Protein Sciences team, supporting multiple projects and presenting results to clients. Hands-on role focused on recombinant protein expression using insect cell systems such as BEVS, S2 and Sf9, including construct design, baculovirus generation and troubleshooting difficult targets like membrane proteins.
Nuclera Cambridge
Formulate, dispense and quality-control reagents for a protein discovery platform, operating lab equipment such as pipettes, centrifuges and UPLC systems. The role covers batch documentation, inventory management via ERP and troubleshooting production deviations, working closely with R&D, QA and Supply Chain in a fast-paced lab environment.
Sartorius Glasgow
Performs laboratory techniques under GMP conditions, including cell-based assays, ELISAs and protein characterisation, to test biological products such as monoclonal antibodies, cell and gene therapies and vaccines. Also manages stock and reagents, maintains traceability records, and prepares controlled documentation like SOPs and risk assessments within a nine-person team.
CSL Maidenhead US$212,000 – US$251,000 pa
Leads the full statistical contribution to a clinical development programme, defining statistical strategy for trial design, analysis and regulatory submissions, and representing Biostatistics in interactions with the FDA, EMA and PMDA. Also manages outsourcing to CROs/FSPs and contributes to governance and development-plan decisions across therapeutic areas.
CSL Breda, Netherlands US$212,000 – US$251,000 pa
Leads the full scope of statistical contribution to a clinical development programme, defining statistical strategy and methodologies for trial design, analysis and regulatory submissions. Represents Biostatistics in interactions with authorities such as FDA, EMA and PMDA, and manages outsourcing or internal statistical programmers. Two positions support multiple therapeutic areas.
Isomorphic Labs London
Contribute to the design of novel large-molecule therapeutics by applying computational and machine learning methods to predict biologics properties such as affinity, developability and immunogenicity from sequence. Work within an interdisciplinary computational sciences team alongside ML and biologics discovery experts, benchmarking models, analysing lab data and shaping data-generation strategies for active learning.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Oxford
Lead the DMPK team at Vertex's Oxford site, shaping strategy and operations while sitting on both the Global DMPK and Oxford Site leadership teams. The role directs ADME science across discovery and development programmes, partners with Medicinal Chemistry, Biology, Preclinical Safety and Clinical Pharmacology, and oversees regulatory documentation such as INDs and marketing applications. It combines deep small-molecule DMPK expertise with hiring, mentoring and resource planning.
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.
