You will work closely with experienced colleagues and clinicians, ensuring results are delivered accurately and on time. You will also support diagnostic processing for the Dairy Herd Health and Productivity Service, whose samples are handled within the Clinical Pathology Laboratory and contribute to departmental business.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, problem solving and being part of a supportive team. You'll gain experience across a range of diagnostic techniques, with opportunities to develop your skills and contribute to ongoing improvements in how we deliver our service. As the laboratory continues to evolve and enhance its processes, you will play an important role in shaping how we work, ensuring we continue to meet the needs of our clinical and research users, and ultimately contributing to the health and wellbeing of animal companions.

Working at the University of Edinburgh means joining a community that values professionalism, collaboration, and continuous improvement. You’ll have access to a wide range of staff benefits, professional development opportunities, and a workplace where your contribution makes a meaningful difference every day.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
