Are you an experienced Research Assistant with molecular biology or biochemistry expertise? This is a fantastic opportunity to join an innovative scientific organisation in London, supporting cutting‑edge technology development projects across multiple R&D teams. Proclinical is looking for a Senior Research Assistant to contribute to laboratory‑based research, routine production work, and development activities that directly support innovative diagnostic technology platforms.
Responsibilities
* Support the development of new molecular biology and biochemistry modules and help integrate them into diagnostic workflows.
* Complete routine production activities for teams working in Surface Chemistry, Clonal Amplification, and/or Sequencing, delivering high‑quality output to strict timelines.
* Execute laboratory experiments efficiently and accurately, following guidance from project leads.
* Record detailed experimental descriptions and carry out data analysis to a high standard.
* Identify and escalate technical issues, participating in troubleshooting and problem‑solving discussions.
* Maintain and manage all laboratory documentation in line with ISO 13485 and internal quality standards.
* Contribute ideas and insights toward resolving technical challenges within ongoing experiments.
* Carry out additional scientific duties as required.
Key Skills and Requirements
* BSc in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
* Strong practical experience with standard molecular biology and biochemistry techniques (e.g., PCR). This should come from working or a placement, and not just studies.
* The ability to perform, troubleshoot and analyse laboratory experiments with consistent accuracy.
* Experience using electronic lab notebooks for experimental documentation.
* A positive attitude toward routine and occasionally repetitive work, ensuring reliable and consistent output.
* Excellent attention to detail and the ability to generate high‑quality experimental data.
* Knowledge of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows (preferred but not essential).
Why Apply
* Work at the forefront of scientific innovation.
* Join a highly skilled, collaborative R&D team.
* Contribute directly to the development of innovative and impactful diagnostic technology.
* Opportunity to expand experience across molecular biology, biochemistry and sequencing workflows.
