SRG are looking for an analytical scientist to work with a global pharmaceutical company, to characterise proprietary molecules using a range of chromatography- and spectroscopy-based methods. The successful candidate will characterise large panels of protein-based lead molecules, either monoclonal antibodies or more complex formats such as bispecifics, perform the data analysis and interpretation, record the outcomes in electronic lab notebooks and communicate these to project teams.

We create a place where people can grow, be their best, be safe, and feel welcome, valued, and included. We offer a competitive salary, an annual bonus based on company performance, healthcare and wellbeing programmes, pension plan membership, and shares and savings programme.

Responsibilities:

Plan, design, and execute experiments to characterise proteins using biophysical methods, such as SEC, DLS and DSF
Communicate experimental outcomes to non-experts on multi-disciplinary project teams
Keep high quality electronic lab notebooks

Basic Qualifications:

PhD or equivalent experience in chemical or biological sciences.
Demonstrated, hands-on experience characterising proteins using biophysical methods
Preferred Qualifications:

If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:

Experience in working with automated liquid handlers
Familiarity with antibody drug discovery processes
Experience characterising protein-protein interactions using surface plasmon resonance

Biotechnology Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK biotechnology hiring has shifted from title-led CV screens to capability-driven assessments that emphasise validated lab results, documentation, GxP/QA/RA awareness, data literacy, digital biology tools & measurable impact from bench to bedside. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for wet-lab scientists, bioprocess/CMC engineers, QC/QA specialists, RA/clinical professionals, bioinformatics/data scientists & platform engineers. Who this is for: Biologists, biochemists, biotechnologists, cell & gene therapy scientists, upstream/downstream processing engineers, QA/QC analysts, validation engineers, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical trial professionals, bioinformaticians, data scientists & biotech product/operations managers targeting roles in the UK.

Why Biotechnology Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Biotechnology once meant pipettes, lab benches & research reports. But in today’s UK job market, biotech careers are no longer confined to wet labs or sequencing centres. As the sector expands into gene therapies, synthetic biology, personalised medicine, agricultural biotech, and bioinformatics, professionals are expected to integrate not just biology & chemistry, but also law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This change reflects a broader truth: biotechnology doesn’t happen in isolation. It impacts people’s health, the environment, food supply & society at large. That means careers in biotech now require more than scientific knowledge — they demand legal awareness, ethical reasoning, patient empathy, clear communication, and user-centred design. In this article, we’ll explore why biotech careers in the UK are becoming multidisciplinary, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design are shaping job descriptions, and what job-seekers & employers need to do to succeed in this transformed landscape.

Biotechnology Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Biotechnology Department

Biotechnology is a fast-moving, highly interdisciplinary sector that spans research, development, clinical trials, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, and commercialisation. In the UK, biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, academic spin-outs, and contract research organisations (CROs) are collaborating more than ever, leading to the creation of complex teams with specialised roles. To deliver safe, effective, and compliant biotech products — whether diagnostics, biologics, gene therapies, environmental biotech, or agricultural innovations — it's vital to know who does what. This article will map out the structure of a modern biotech department. We’ll define the key roles, how they interact across the product lifecycle, what skills are required in the UK, typical career paths, salary expectations, and examples of how startups versus large firms organise themselves. Whether you are a hiring manager or a job seeker, this will help you understand the landscape of biotechnology jobs in the UK.
