Opportunity Overview

We are looking for an experienced Senior Technician (Biochemistry and Chemical Sciences) to join our technical team at the University of Salford.

This is a practical, hands-on role based primarily within our Cockcroft laboratories, with responsibility for overseeing and coordinating technical provision within biochemistry and chemical sciences teaching laboratories.

Our technicians have different specialist skills and areas of responsibility, but work collaboratively across laboratory areas, sharing knowledge, resources and expertise where they're needed. Senior Technicians play an important role in coordinating this work, maintaining consistent laboratory standards and supporting colleagues across the wider service.

We value practical expertise, shared knowledge and a willingness to work together to provide safe, effective and reliable laboratory support.

Why it works

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.
