Full time
Led by a world class faculty of scientists, technologists, policy makers, economists and entrepreneurs, the Ellison Institute of Technology aims to develop and deploy commercially sustainable solutions to solve some of humanity's most enduring challenges. Our work is guided by four Humane Endeavours: Health, Medical Science & Generative Biology, Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture, Climate Change & Managing Atmospheric CO and Artificial Intelligence & Robotics. Set for completion in 2027, the EIT Campus in Littlemore will include more than 300,000 sq ft of research laboratories, educational and gathering spaces. Fuelled by growing ambition and the strength of Oxford's science ecosystem, EIT is now expanding its footprint to a 2 million sq ft Campus across the western part of The Oxford Science Park. Designed by Foster + Partners led by Lord Norman Foster, this will become a transformative workplace for up to 7,000 people, with autonomous laboratories, purpose built laboratories including a plant sciences building and dynamic spaces to spark interdisciplinary collaboration. We are hiring Scientific Operations Managers to oversee laboratory facilities within either the Materials and Devices for Life Science Institute or the Plant Biology Institute. You will lead the design, set up, and daily operations of high throughput labs, ensuring equipment, infrastructure and processes meet our scientific, safety and quality standards. Responsibilities include procuring and maintaining equipment, managing supplies and inventory, troubleshooting facility issues, and serving as the primary operational contact, including out of hours support when needed. Materials and Devices for Life Science Institute Work focuses on 3D tissue construction, nanopore sensing/sequencing, device engineering, and applied sequencing. Candidates should bring technical expertise in one or more relevant areas such as protein/small molecule analysis, synthetic or living tissue from human cells, or device production in clinical environments. Plant Biology Institute Work focuses on improving global food production and sustainability through advanced plant science. Relevant experience includes molecular biology, plant cell culture, and plant growth. We seek candidates with strong scientific backgrounds, laboratory management experience, and an understanding of high throughput facilities. Core hours are Monday to Friday, 08:30-17:30, based on site, with occasional flexibility required. Key Responsibilities Facility Design and Development Work with design and construction teams to build fit for purpose research facilities aligned with end user needs and MEP requirements. Experience designing and scaling laboratory facilities in a start up environment. Liaise with suppliers to procure equipment, consumables, reagents and accessories. Ensure required licences and regulations (signage, PPE, SOPs, COSHH, etc.) are met. Work with central teams to establish systems such as LIMS, QMS, EMS and BMS. Facility Management Oversee daily laboratory operations, ensuring efficient workflow and quality standards. Manage laboratory staff (hiring, training, mentoring, performance management). Implement and enforce safety procedures in line with GLP, ISO, HTA and other standards. Monitor critical lab conditions (temperature, humidity, air quality). Assess and support structural, mechanical or electrical modifications; optimise space and equipment for diverse research needs. Equipment Management Ensure equipment, consumables and reagents are maintained and available for research use. Oversee maintenance, calibration and troubleshooting of instruments. Maintain lab cleanliness, space optimisation and operational readiness of all equipment. Work with external vendors for equipment servicing and repairs. Operational Support Develop and implement SOPs to ensure consistent and compliant processes. Troubleshoot workflow issues to prevent delays in project timelines. Inventory and Supply Chain Management Manage inventory with technicians, inventory managers and finance/procurement teams. Coordinate procurement to secure necessary materials and resources. Track and document inventory, ensuring timely resupply to avoid delays. Maintain systems for handling, storing and disposing of hazardous materials safely and compliantly. Collaboration with Research and Development Teams Work with scientific leadership to align facilities with research needs and objectives. Act as key facilities contact, providing updates and recommending improvements. Ensure laboratory operations support scientific timelines and goals; contribute to project planning and strategy. Quality Assurance and Compliance Ensure compliance with safety, regulatory and quality standards (e.g., GxP, ISO, HTA). Implement QC processes to ensure accuracy and reproducibility of results. Support internal and external audits and inspections. Maintain documentation of processes, workflows and sample handling per regulations. Essential & Desirable Skills, Qualifications & Experience Educated to a minimum of BSc (up to PhD) in a relevant scientific field. Experienced lab professional with significant laboratory experience, including evidential exposure in a management or supervisory role.
