The Townley group at Begbroke Science Park is looking for a detail-oriented Laboratory Technician to join our team and support the maintenance of an organized and efficient lab environment. Key responsibilities will include autoclaving tissue culture waste, refilling liquid nitrogen tanks, cleaning incubators and tissue culture hoods, and liaising with external suppliers for orders and servicing. Depending on experience, the post holder may also assist with chemical solution preparation, media preparation, and cell culture maintenance.

The successful candidate will ensure smooth lab operations by maintaining equipment, monitoring stock levels, assisting with service contracts, and contributing to the writing of basic operating procedures. Additional duties include washing, sterilizing, and disposing of lab equipment, performing quality checks, and assisting in the training of less experienced team members.
