Biomarker Factory Facility Co-ordinator

About the role: 

The Biomarker Factory Facility Co-ordinator is responsible for supporting the Principal Research Fellow with the delivery of the operational administrative support provided to scientists and their laboratory research teams within the UK DRI Fluid Biomarker Lab/Biomarker Factory at UCL.
This is a varied and exciting administrative role within a recently established research platform. You will have responsibility for a range of activities such as project costing and financial administration, including tracking orders and invoices. This role requires collaborative working within the team and with our collaborators and fellow labs at the UK DRI at UCL. There will be opportunity for someone with initiative to develop, implement, and improve systems and processes to ensure administrative activities within the lab are efficient and minimise the burden on the scientists. A background in laboratory work will enable you to get involved “at the bench” when large projects require all members of the team to be involved.
What we are looking for:  

You will be educated to degree (BSC or postgraduate) level, with an understanding and interest in the vision and mission of the UK DRI and a commitment to supporting and enabling its research. Experience of independently managing projects, IT proficiency at advanced user level, and excellent and oral and written communication skills are essential. Strong problem-solving skills, the ability to maintain excellent attention to detail and the ability to prioritise and reprioritise workloads are also a requirement. Experience and understanding of research grant administration, financial administration, or budget administration, and experience of working in a laboratory research department and of immunoassays is desirable.
