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.
