The Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT) tackles humanity’s greatest challenges by turning science and technology into impactful global solutions. Focused on areas like health, food security, sustainable agriculture, climate change, clean energy, and robotics in an era of artificial intelligence. EIT blends groundbreaking research with practical applications to deliver lasting results.
A cornerstone of EIT mission is its upcoming 300,000-square-foot research facility at the Oxford Science Park, set to open in 2027. This cutting-edge campus will feature advanced labs, an oncology and preventative care clinic, and collaborative spaces to strengthen its partnership with the University of Oxford. It will also host the Ellison Scholars, driving innovation for societal benefit.
The Generative Biology Institute (GBI) at the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT) aims to overcome two major challenges in making biology engineerable: 1) the ability to precisely synthesize entire genomes, and 2) understanding which DNA sequences will create biological systems that perform desired functions. Solving these challenges will unlock the potential of biology for transformative solutions in health, sustainability, agriculture, and more. GBI will house 30 groups and over 300 researchers, supported by cutting-edge facilities and sustained funding to address global challenges and advance biology engineering.
EIT fosters a culture of collaboration, innovation, and resilience, valuing diverse expertise to drive sustainable solutions to humanity’s enduring challenges.
JOB SUMMARY:
We are seeking a contractor who is highly organised and scientifically experienced to support the relocation of researchers from their lab in Cambridge to EIT’s Generative Biology Institute (GBI) in Oxford. The role will be responsible for cataloguing, duplicating and validating critical biological constructs and samples. This role is ideal for a PhD-qualified scientist with a background in molecular biology and/or chemistry, who is comfortable working independently and has strong attention to detail. The role will involve both experimental and informatics work to ensure the accurate transfer and regeneration of valuable materials. We would expect this role to be based at the researchers’ current lab in Cambridge, with some work at EIT / GBI in Oxford, particularly towards the end of the 6 months.
