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

This position would suit a recent PhD graduate or someone with a B.Sc. and several years of lab experience

Biotechnology Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Biotechnology is often portrayed as a young person’s game. White lab coats, fresh PhDs & long academic pipelines dominate the image. In reality, the UK biotechnology sector relies heavily on career switchers, mid-career professionals & people bringing experience from outside science. If you are in your 30s, 40s or 50s & thinking about moving into biotechnology, this article gives you a clear-eyed, UK-specific reality check. No hype. No Americanised career myths. Just an honest look at which biotech jobs are realistic, what retraining actually involves & how employers really think about age & background.

How to Write a Biotechnology Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Biotechnology is one of the UK’s most diverse and fast-moving sectors. From biopharma and diagnostics to industrial biotech, medtech and life sciences research, employers are competing for highly specialised talent with scarce, in-demand skills. Yet many biotechnology employers struggle with the same problem: job adverts that attract the wrong candidates. Roles are often flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly qualified scientists, engineers and regulatory professionals either do not apply or disengage early in the process. In most cases, the issue is not the talent pool — it is the job advert itself. Biotechnology professionals are trained to think critically, assess evidence and understand context. If a job ad is vague, inflated or poorly targeted, it signals a lack of clarity and credibility — and strong candidates simply move on. This guide explains how to write a biotechnology job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a serious, trustworthy employer in the life sciences sector.

Maths for Biotech Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Biotechnology is packed with data. Whether you are applying for roles in drug discovery, clinical research, bioprocessing, diagnostics, genomics or regulated manufacturing, you will meet numbers every day: assay readouts, QC trends, dose response curves, sequencing counts, clinical endpoints, stability profiles, validation reports & risk assessments. If you are a UK job seeker moving into biotech from another sector or you are a student in biology, biochemistry, biomedical science, pharmacy, chemistry, engineering or computer science, it is normal to worry you “do not have the maths”. What biotech roles do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up again & again. This guide focuses on the only maths most biotech job adverts quietly assume: • Biostatistics basics for experiments, evidence & decision making • Probability for variability, uncertainty & risk • Linear algebra essentials for omics, PCA & modelling workflows • Calculus basics for kinetics, rates & dose response intuition • Simple optimisation for curve fitting, process set points & model tuning
