Daresbury, Cheshire, UK (not remote)
If you are a talented scientific professional with a lab background and a passion for ethical lab practices, this is your chance to make an impact and accelerate the transition towards 100% animal-free testing.
About Us
We’re XCellR8, an award-winning organisation that is dedicated to developing animal-free testing solutions for the cosmetics and chemical industries.
We are passionate about our values, which include a commitment to Xcellence, being Xtraordinary, Xemplary and going the Xtra mile to achieve outstanding results.
We are now seeking a Scientist I to join us at the prestigious National Innovation Campus at Sci-Tech Daresbury and support the day-to-day scientific activities of our laboratory. You must already have the legal right to work in the UK. We’re not able to sponsor visas for this role.
The Benefits
- Competitive salary, depending on experience.
- 25 days’ holiday per year and birthdays off
- Commitment to your personal development and access to training
- Parking on-site and modern premises
- Social and well-being initiatives, including supporting corporate charity efforts and team socials to celebrate.
Born from a great idea and a passion for animal welfare, XCellR8 has become a world leader in our field, and we are constantly pushing boundaries to find animal-free, cutting-edge testing solutions.
We provide the ideal environment in which to progress your scientific career. With a reputation for our innovative approach, we have a Good Laboratory Practice certification, as well as a number of awards for our pioneering work.
Here, you will have the chance to help develop exciting new scientific techniques, work with some of the world’s top cosmetic brands and help to protect human safety.
So, if you want to contribute to important work that is providing a more ethical and scientifically advanced alternative to animal testing, we want to hear from you.
The Role
As a Scientist, you will conduct animal-free studies to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of test items.
Working closely with Senior Scientists, QA and other team members, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the research and development of new test methods and provide routine maintenance of both human cell cultures and the XCellR8 lab, contributing to the company’s mission to accelerate the transition to 100% animal-free testing.
You will also:
- Process, analyse and communicate the results and data from experiments conducted.
- Perform QC checks on reports
- Work within the GLP regulatory framework
- Support the implementation and maintenance of validated computer systems
- Undertake ongoing training in the appropriate theoretical and practical skills to support the role
- Contribute to the review, update and creation of controlled documents, including SOPs, IPs and Forms
- Keep up to date with the work of other scientists, both internally and externally, through regular reading/research and conference attendance to support innovation at XCellR8
About You
To join us as a Scientist, you will need:
- A degree (or equivalent) in a Life Science subject, with additional prior laboratory experience
- To be committed to the development and implementation of in vitro alternatives to animal testing
- To work to the requirements of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
- Proficiency in MS Office applications, including Microsoft Excel
- To be an analytical thinker who can manage priorities, problem-solve, and deliver actions.
- To be highly detail-oriented, able to work autonomously and able to manage multiple tasks and tight deadlines with confidence and ease
Although not essential, experience in cell culture, microbiology, flow cytometry, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), performance of cell-based assays and/or experience with computer systems validation would be beneficial to your application.
Other organisations may call this role Laboratory Scientist, Lab Scientist, Lab Technician, Life Scientist, Life Science Technician, Laboratory Analyst or Human Cell Culture Scientist.
