An exciting opportunity has arisen for a HCPC registered scientist to join the embryology team on a permanent basis at the Edinburgh Fertility Centre, based within the Royal Infirmary at Little France, Edinburgh.

The Assisted Conception Programme at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary is a busy and successful unit, which currently carries out 600 cycles of IVF/ICSI annually, as well 400 cycles of frozen embryo transfer, surgical sperm retrieval, gamete and embryo cryopreservation and sperm, oocyte and embryo donation. We also routinely perform day 5/6 trophectoderm biopsies as part of our PGT testing service.

The unit is involved in a range of research projects, with close collaborative links to the MRC Centre for Reproductive Health at the University of Edinburgh.

A permanent post for a band 7 Clinical Embryologist has become available. Experience in ICSI is essential and priority will be given to candidates who are HCPC registered. You should have experience in all aspects of laboratory techniques and be able to work to a high standard independently of others. You will be expected to participate in TE biopsy procedures and full training will be provided.

The post is full time, permanent and will include weekend and on-call obligations.
