Senior / Laboratory Research Scientist - Histopathology team

Experimental Histopathology (EHP) is a Science Technology Platform (STP) within the Crick, providing a comprehensive and interactive centre for the histology-based analysis of experimental tissues and human bio resources/clinical trials, with the aim of relating experimental models to the pathology of human disease. The purpose of this post is to provide comprehensive support in the operations of the EHP STP. The post responsibilities include shared responsibility for the smooth running and efficient operation of the EHP STP via the implementation of established in-house histology-based techniques and workflows, operation of instruments, general laboratory organisation and interaction with other members of the STP and Crick researchers. The post holder will also be required to investigate and develop new technologies to enhance the capabilities of the STP. The post-holder will work in the Experimental Histopathology STP, providing advice, training, and expertise in a range of techniques to analyse cells and tissues from experimental models and human tissue.,

• Exemplifying and maintaining standards for the service
• Supporting and contributing to existing projects through effectively and efficiently performing established techniques
• Conducting experimental work autonomously and by own initiative on projects as agreed with the deputy and STP Lead
• Operating as a technical specialist in histology-based techniques
• Interacting and consulting collaboratively with researchers to help plan experiments
• Liaising with other members of the EHP team; actively supporting and training team members to develop their skills and promote collective success
• Providing specialised training to researchers, visitors, and other Crick staff as required
• Using knowledge to build on existing methodologies and innovate through identification, assessment and development of new technologies, to expand the capabilities of the facility under guidance of STP Deputy and Lead
