250227 (EPPP) Clinical Embryologist

Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

Fixed Term for 12 months

An opportunity has arisen for a HCPC registered Clinical Embryologist to join the embryology team on a temporary 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 500 cycles of IVF/ICSI annually, as well 450 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.

You should have experience in all aspects of laboratory techniques and be able to work to a high standard independently of others.
