SOC 2113 (73% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £45,900, and University of Southampton is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
We pick the code from the advert's text, so it is our best guess, not the employer's. Each code it could be has its own likelihood:
- Likely 2113 (Biochemists and biomedical scientists) · 73% match
- Likely 2112 (Biological scientists) · 16% match
- Likely 2162 (Other researchers, unspecified discipline) · 7% match
About the role

For this position, you must have a PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in cell and molecular biology. Experience of cell culture and at least some of the techniques listed above is essential, while experience in primary lung cell culture, 3D culture techniques, and (immuno)histochemistry is desirable.
The ideal candidate will be able to adapt to working with a variety of techniques across different laboratories, working efficiently and diligently, with a strong work ethic and able to use their own initiative. They will be team-oriented, with excellent organisational skills, and reliable. The successful applicant must have excellent spoken and written English communication skills.
