Responsibilities

ABOUT THE ROLE

Applications are invited for a Senior Research Laboratory Technician to join the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial. Your role will be to support experimental research within the Biomechanics laboratories (website, twitter) to ensure safe and effective working practice in these areas.
We are researching and developing orthopaedic implants and surgical procedures, working across disciplines in a dynamic research environment. You will be a good fit for this role if you enjoy working with people who have different experience, helping them get the most out of extensive lab facilities.
We are looking for someone who is motivated to work with a broad range of facilities, ranging from robotic actuators, materials testing machines, bespoke mechanical testing rigs, incubators, x-ray machines and optical motion analyses systems. The role will require work in containment level 2 facilities, working human anatomical samples (such as knee joints), bacteria and cells.
We recognise that applicants may bring deep expertise with regards to some, but not all, of the facilities involved in our research. Support will be provided to build on and expand skills to help the post holder develop into this role. We would welcome your application if you can demonstrate relevant core technical support experience, and an aptitude for developing proficiency with new facilities and equipment.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING

  • You will be the primary point of contact for the Biomechanics research laboratories.
  • You will ensure laboratories are running smoothly and efficiently, and that the laboratory infrastructure and capability is operational and safe.
  • You will provide training and instruction in safe use of lab equipment, and assist lab users in research with cells, bacteria and human anatomical samples.
  • You will facilitate safe and efficient lab work, including the management, preparation and review of safety documentation.
  • You will coordinate cold-storage and disposal of biological and tissue samples.
