In Office Junior EMEA Banking Associate Excel Reporting

Requirements

• BSc or MSc in Cell Biology, Biomedical Sciences or a related discipline • Hands-on laboratory experience in mammalian cell culture with strong aseptic technique. • Experience running standard assays for cell characterisation (e.g. cell counts and viability, flow cytometry, plate reader based assays), and preparing reagents and media accurately. • Strong attention to detail: you follow SOPs consistently, document your work to a high standard, and spot and report deviations, unexpected results or equipment issues promptly. • Understanding of good experimental design principles, including the role of controls and replicates. • Ability to collate, analyse and present data clearly using standard tools (e.g. Excel, GraphPad Prism). • Excellent organisation – able to manage multiple concurrent work tasks and plan around cell culture schedules. • Clear communicator who is comfortable reporting progress and raising risks, blockers and delays. • A collaborative, team-first attitude, including a willingness to share in the work that keeps the lab organised and running smoothly. • Experience in routine iPSC/ESC culture (feeder-free maintenance, passaging, cryopreservation) and differentiation. • Familiarity with standard stem cell characterisation assays (e.g. flow cytometry, ICC, qPCR). • Experience working on hardware systems that interface with Biology.

Responsibilities

• Research and Development – Run experiments across process development, product testing and new platform R&D, then present your results to the team. Your data will help decide how our processes and platforms evolve. • Cell culture – Help maintain the team's iPSC lines and differentiation cultures, including feeding, passaging, cryopreservation and banking. Every experiment we run is built on these cells, and you'll learn to culture them to a high standard. • Lab operations – Keep the lab running as part of the maintenance rota (stock checks, waste, autoclaving, cleaning hoods, incubators and shared equipment), and own the upkeep of your assigned equipment. Fast, reliable science depends on a well-run lab, and everyone on the team contributes.
