Senior Transgenic Technician Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine Faculty of Medicine and Health The St James’s Biomedical Service is a new, state-of-the-art transgenic facility. Designed to enable new scientific programmes within the Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine (LIMM) and across the University, it’s set to further enhance our reputation for research. As part of a newly assembled team, you will be involved in all aspects of the production of transgenic mice, including their care and maintenance. A personal Home Office licence specifying mice is therefore required, together with knowledge of the Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. A clear commitment to animal welfare and research is also essential. You will be experienced in the field and familiar with experimental procedures, Schedule 1 techniques and rodent breeding programmes. You can maintain animal records and have sound working knowledge of Health & Safety issues. What’s more, you’re adept at building relationships, using IT and applying initiative to resolve problems. An Enhanced Disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau is required, as is a full criminal and personal background check to BS 7858 standards. This post is available immediately at University Grade 6 (£24,152 - £28,839 p.a.) depending upon qualifications and relevant research experience Informal enquiries to sbsadmin@leeds.ac.uk
