Under the partnership UK Lighthouse Labs, MDC are responsible for running and managing the laboratory at the impressive Alderley Park site in Cheshire, which is the UK’s largest single site life science campus.
Unprecedented times calls for unprecedented measures and at MDC we are focused on building the best team possible to deliver the numbers and samples needed to significantly increase the testing capacity. Our aim is to help the community during this challenging time.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to join in the fight and national effort against this global pandemic.
Join the team
Biomedical Scientists are required to manage the testing and introduction of new methodologies, as well as working with Quality Managers and Health and Safety Managers to ensure the highest lab standards. The Biomedical Scientists will play a pivotal role in ensuring the provision of efficient, effective and timely analysis of patient samples for COVID-19
What experience do you need?
The ideal candidate will have a BSc in a scientific discipline (or equivalent) and will have strong experience in a lab environment. This includes experience of virology and molecular biology. Attention to detail and the ability to manage processes effectively and efficiently are also essential.
Working hours
To ensure we are processing the level of samples needed to support this pandemic, Lighthouse Labs Alderley Park is open 7 days a week with our team working 5 days in 7 including weekends.
Alderley Park
Alderley Park is the perfect location for one of Lighthouse Labs testing sites as it is the best invested life science R&D facility in the UK and provides companies with a range of bioscience capability that are second to none. Surrounded by 400 acres of parkland, Alderley Park offers plenty of space to walk, run or cycle (at a distance of course). Located in Cheshire, it’s within easy reach of the M6 & M56 and only 20 minutes from Manchester city centre by car. Local train stations (Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Macclesfield) are all within 15 minutes’ drive, with a shuttle bus going from the stations to site.
