This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2434 is an eligible occupation, but we classified this role with low confidence (55% match). If the code is right — and The University of Manchester is a licensed sponsor — it should qualify, but double-check the occupation eligibility rules against the actual role.
About the role
The post-holder will support members of the group, help supervise and teach undergraduate and postgraduate students, maintain accurate records and contribute to ensuring health and safety compliance within the laboratories. The role will help generate high-quality data for research outputs including presentations and publications, while supporting studies that aim to improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying asthma.
As this is a circadian research group, some out-of-hours work, usually evenings or overnight, will be required.
The University of Manchester values a diverse workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
Why Join Us?
This is an opportunity to support research into the circadian biology of asthma and contribute to studies that aim to improve understanding of the mechanisms underlying asthma. You will develop and apply a broad range of laboratory techniques, contribute to high-quality data for presentations and publications, support members of the research group and students, and help deliver public engagement activities that communicate research to the public, patients and policy makers
