Research Assistant Tissue Profiling (12 Months)

£27.1 - £31.8 per hourEstimated
Full-time
ABOUT RELATION
Relation is a sector defining TechBio company developing transformational medicines, with technology at our core. Our ambition is to understand human biology in unprecedented ways, discovering therapies to treat some of life’s most devastating diseases. We leverage single-cell multi-omics from patient tissue, functional assays, and machine learning to drive disease understanding, from cause to cure.

We are scaling rapidly and building a team of exceptional individuals to push the boundaries of drug discovery. You will work in highly interdisciplinary teams where biology, computation, and engineering come together to solve complex problems that have not been solved before. Our state-of-the-art wet and dry labs in the heart of London are designed to accelerate this integration and translate insight into impact.

We are committed to building diverse and inclusive teams. Relation is an equal opportunities employer and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, gender reassignment, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, disability, or age.

By joining Relation, you will help define how medicines are discovered and deliver meaningful impact for patients.

The opportunity
Relation has an excellent opportunity for a Research assistant to join an interdisciplinary, highly collaborative team of experimental and computational drug discovery researchers in our newly built state-of-the-art functional genomics lab in London.

Large-scale genetic studies, including genome-wide association studies (GWAS), have discovered thousands of variants and loci associated with complex diseases, yet it is difficult to draw disease insight as the vast majority of loci lie in non-coding regions of the genome and have unknown function. At Relation, we are generating proprietary large-scale datasets to accelerate the prediction of disease genes from these loci using state-of-the-art functional genomics and machine learning methods. We will identify the key effector genes, cells and pathways involved in the pathophysiology of disease and proceed to predict disease targets for experimental validation.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Laboratory technician to contribute to the cutting-edge drug discovery endeavours of Relation’s experimental laboratory. Aside from major contributions to the execution of the tissue profiling team, the post-holder is expected to contribute as well to the upkeep of the lab and other general tasks across teams.

By joining Relation, you will be part of an exceptionally talented team, learn a broad range of skills within and outside your area of expertise, help us shape our culture and ultimately, make a positive impact on patients' lives.

Day to day you will
  • Receive, process, and store clinical samples promptly in accordance with laboratory Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
  • Complete, write and maintain accurate laboratory documentation, including electronic lab books, SOP and EOP.
  • Assist with laboratory housekeeping tasks to ensure smooth and efficient daily operations.
  • Perform NGS experiments, including bulk RNA-seq, single-cell, and spatial transcriptomics, and operate the sequencer.
  • Troubleshoot experimental or technical issues and maintain effective collaboration and communication with CROs and internal teams.
  • Work effectively within the laboratory team, fostering clear and efficient communication.
Professionally, you have:
  • MSc. or BSc in a biology related area with at least 2 years laboratory experience.
  • Experience in human sample processing: serum, plasma and tissue handling.
  • Experience in single cell, spatial and/or NGS library preparation.
Desirable knowledge or experiences
  • Experience in histology, tissue culture or fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS).
Personally, you:
  • Are comfortable working in a matrixed environment, balancing multiple stakeholders and contributing effectively across teams.
  • Take ownership of your work, proactively seek opportunities to contribute, and enable others to do their best work.
  • Communicate openly and directly, give and receive feedback constructively, and handle challenging conversations with respect.
  • Actively seek out diverse perspectives, build strong working relationships, and contribute to shared goals across teams.
  • Embrace challenges with openness and resilience, set high standards for yourself, and strive to deliver meaningful outcomes.
Working Style & Culture at Relation
At Relation, we operate in a matrixed, interdisciplinary environment, where impact is driven through collaboration across scientific, technical, and operational domains. We collaborate, and you will partner with colleagues across multiple teams and projects, contributing your expertise while aligning to shared company priorities. We work together and win together!

The patient is waiting!

RECRUITMENT AGENCIES: Please note that Relation does not accept unsolicited resumes from agencies. Resumes should not be forwarded to our job aliases or employees. Relation will not be liable for any fees associated with unsolicited CVs.

Relation is a committed equal opportunities employer.
