About the role

We are seeking a capable and motivated Mid-level Biologist to contribute to laboratory, field-based, or applied research projects. The successful candidate will plan and perform biological studies, maintain accurate records, and interpret data to support evidence-based conclusions. This role requires a strong understanding of biological principles, sound technical judgement, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Key responsibilities include designing and conducting experiments, sampling and processing biological materials, operating and maintaining laboratory or field equipment, and applying appropriate analytical techniques. You will analyse, validate, and document results using established scientific methods, prepare technical reports and presentations, and communicate findings clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. The role may also involve developing protocols, reviewing scientific literature, supporting project planning, contributing to regulatory or quality documentation, and identifying opportunities to improve methods, workflows, and data quality. You will be expected to follow health, safety, ethical, environmental, and quality requirements at all times. Applicants should hold a degree in biology, life sciences, ecology, microbiology, molecular biology, or a related discipline, together with relevant professional experience in a research, laboratory, environmental, or applied biological setting. Practical experience with experimental design, biological sampling, data analysis, and scientific reporting is essential. Familiarity with relevant laboratory techniques, statistical tools, databases, or specialist software would be advantageous. You should demonstrate strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, organisation, and written and verbal communication skills. A proactive approach, commitment to continuous learning, and the ability to manage competing priorities while meeting deadlines are also important. Depending on the work area, occasional travel, fieldwork, or flexible working hours may be required.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
