The Rosalind Franklin Institute
Harwell, Oxfordshire
Research Associate in In Vitro Models of Early Development SALARY: from £39,500 per annum (depending on skills and experience) JOB TYPE: 2 Year Fixed-Term, Full-Time Contract About us The Rosalind Franklin Institute (the Franklin) is a technology institute established by the UK Government as a unique centre committed to advancing tools that are needed to transform healthcare in the future. The Institute brings together researchers in life and physical sciences, and engineering, to develop a spectrum of tools which we will use to image, interpret and intervene in biological systems. These insights will speed up the discovery of new medicines, help find new diagnostics and contribute to a deeper understanding of human health and disease. Our Science Strategy seeks to focus the Franklin s research and unite our researchers around our Technology Innovation Challenges and Life Science Challenges. As a Research Associate at the Franklin, you will bring scientific knowledge and skills to deliver a specific research project and/or you will bring independent, creative science, or specific skills to a team delivering a project or program. Through this work, you will build scientific independence, develop new science and leadership skills, and establish a growing reputation externally. In this specific role, you will establish and maintain stem cell and blastoid culture systems that model key cell fate transitions during early human development. You will generate robust, reproducible biological systems that can be interrogated across molecular, cellular and structural scales, working closely with RFI experts in mass spectrometry, cryo-electron tomography, imaging, data science and AI. The appointee will ensure that these models are suitable for high-quality, multimodal data generation, enabling the identification of candidate molecular and structural determinants of cell fate decisions. They will also play a central role in closing the prediction validation loop: using computational predictions derived from these datasets to design, optimise and execute targeted validation experiments. More broadly, this role will help establish a biological testbed for understanding how cell fate is specified, maintained and redirected during early development. By linking stem cell and blastoid models with mass spectrometry, cryo-ET and AI-driven analysis, the work will contribute to the wider goal of building predictive, experimentally grounded models of how molecular organisation gives rise to cellular identity and developmental transitions. Key Responsibilities As a Research Associate you will: Take care of a stem cell line, including occasional weekend work. Learn and apply advanced research imaging techniques to understand the structural details of the stem cell line. Attend scientific seminars and meetings to keep up to date with developments in stem cell culture, use and imaging. Disseminate results through participating in the manuscript preparation process and presenting at scientific meetings. Contribute to the public engagement science programme of the Franklin. Plan and conduct experiments, analyse and interpret results and supervised delivery of outputs (e.g. research report, patent application) in a scientific/technology area of interest. Work within a project team, contributing to wider projects around Franklin's key Challenges. Lead major contributions to outputs from research including papers, patents and both internal and external presentations. Support and develop others including day-to-day supervision of students or visitors in areas related to own research. Have supervised, staged progression to first stages of scientific independence with opportunities to further develop science and skills/experience. Enhance your research through collaboration with other researchers and make active contributions to exchanging of ideas through your own network. Be able to understand, interpret, create and communicate appropriately within a research context. Develop search and discovery skills and techniques. Be supervised by a Scientist/Senior Scientist in delivery of research outputs, either in the context of a project or Challenge or as an early career development fellow. This job description sets out the skills and experience we believe are needed to be able to do this job but, research also tells us women are much more likely than men to take this list of requirements as absolute and self-select out of the process. If you think you can deliver this role then we want to hear from you, regardless of the boxes you did not tick. Whilst the role requires candidates to hold a PhD/DPhil (or equivalent), we may consider candidates who have submitted their PhD/DPhil thesis, in which case the initial appointment will be made at £38,500 per annum (to be increased on completion of the PhD/DPhil qualification). In return we offer: 25 days holidays plus bank holidays and Christmas holiday shutdown Generous pension scheme (employer s contribution currently up to 18%) Group Life Assurance (also known as Group Life Insurance or Death in Service) Buying and Selling Annual Leave Workplace Nursery Salary Sacrifice Scheme Hub building with state-of-the-art laboratories Hybrid and flexible working Training and development opportunities for staff at all levels Bus pass discount scheme and good transport links to Oxford and surrounding areas Cycle to Work Scheme Access to employee discount platform (Perkbox) Occupational Health and wellbeing support including Employee Assistance (24/7 support and counselling) Health Cash Plan Subsidised canteen and food outlets on campus Free on-site parking Campus location in beautiful countryside with social and sports clubs open to staff The Franklin s underlying aim is to produce the best science for research today, and this means resolutely embracing a diverse team, who have a wide range of experiences, skills and knowledge to push forward on the innovative work our institution delivers. Both our work and our institution are better for it. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every applicant has an equal opportunity to showcase their talents and abilities. This includes making adjustments for candidates with specific needs. Please contact us to discuss your requirements confidentially. At the Rosalind Franklin Institute we also welcome applications from all around the world!

Facilities Manager St Neots, Cambridgeshire (with travel) Permanent 45,000 - 55,000 DOE Help build the environments where innovation happens At MASS, our facilities do far more than house our people.

As our Facilities Manager, you'll help shape the workplaces, laboratories and secure environments that enable that work to happen safely, efficiently and sustainably. This is an opportunity to influence how a growing business develops its estate and not simply maintain what's already there. Why this opportunity? As MASS continues to grow, so does the complexity of the environments we operate from. With investment in secure facilities, specialist laboratories and future workplace expansion, facilities management has become a strategic capability rather than an operational support function. This newly dedicated role has been created to provide the focus and leadership needed to support that growth. You'll have genuine ownership of our estate, helping shape workplace strategy, improve facilities, lead projects and ensure our sites continue to support the people delivering nationally important programmes. If you're looking for a role where you can influence the future rather than simply react to maintenance issues, this is an opportunity to make a lasting impact. Why MASS?

Driving improvements to workplace environments, infrastructure and employee experience. Managing contractors, suppliers and facilities service partners. Leading refurbishment, maintenance and workplace improvement projects. Supporting future estate expansion and facilities planning. Ensuring statutory compliance across health, safety and environmental requirements. Supporting business continuity, resilience and secure operational environments. Working closely with Security and Engineering teams to ensure facilities continue to meet the needs of a growing defence technology business. Where you'll work Based at either our head office in St Neots, or our Lincoln office (& Training Academy) you'll work closely with technical, operational and business leaders across the organisation. You'll also support across our sites, with travel to those and customer locations as required. Given the nature of the role, you'll spend much of your time working on-site with colleagues, contractors and stakeholders, helping shape environments that support both today's operations and tomorrow's growth. What we're looking for We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving environments and making a visible impact across an organisation. If this opportunity excites you but you don't meet every desirable requirement below, we'd still encourage you to apply.

It would also be beneficial if you have IWFM, IOSH or similar professional qualifications. Experience working within Defence or other highly regulated industries.
