There is a current vacancy for a fixed term part time Grade 3 Scientist for the role of ‘Fit Test Coordinator / Respiratory Scientist’ in the Respiratory Laboratory, Department of Respiratory and Sleep Medicine (16 hours per week – Monday & Tuesday).

The successful applicant will have substantial relevant or translatable experience and enjoy the combination of technical, inter-personal, clinical and physiology skills required for the position and possibly be able to work outside normal hours, at times, to ensure adequate accessibility of the service for all staff.
