Physiology Lab Technician

The UK Sports Institute have an exciting opportunity for a part-time Physiology Laboratory Technician working in Loughborough.

This role is an exciting opportunity to support a team of practitioners as they prepare athletes for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. Additionally, part of the role (0.1 FTE) is allocated to supporting British Triathlon physiology testing and a further 0.1 FTE of the role is allocated to supporting UK Sports Institute respiratory testing.

Prior experience as a laboratory technician is not essential, but the ideal candidate would be a supportive, caring, and helpful individual with the ability to be details driven, practical, and authoritative when necessary.

• Do you have the organisational skills to co-ordinate lab logistics for a team of practitioners?
• Do you think you can build and maintain the range of relationships required to run a lab?
  
  E.g., suppliers, administrators, practitioners.
• Can you solve technical laboratory-based problems under pressure?
• Do you have experience conducting sub-maximal lactate threshold testing with gas analysis?
