Whether you’re applying for a role, or interested in volunteering, there are many ways to get involved.

Sample Team Project Manager

The role holder will coordinate and project manage the multiple cohorts of research samples that need to be moved into or out of or processed at the service labs contracted or directly managed by the BioResource. The role holder will be located at the NIHR BioResource Headquarters in Cambridge, but some travel to U Biocentre (UKBC) Milton Keynes, and other BioResource centres or service laboratories may be required.

The role is predominately working with the Sample Management team but also liaising with the NIHR BioResource Recruitment and Informatics teams and will involve significant interaction with staff at UKBC and other laboratories.

The role holder will fulfil study requests involving sample processing of banked samples to match the requirements of researchers of approved stage 2 studies, and commission, pilot and manage projects to deliver specific biological assays utilising the samples such as genotyping, sequencing or metabolomics.
