We’ve been doing this for 160 years, and we will continue to work hard to do this for many more years to come. We’re a co-operative, which means that we are run by our members for the benefit of the local communities that we serve.

Scotmid food’s aim is to be Scotland’s preferred community convenience retailer and a key factor in achieving this is through our people.

Our stores are open from early in the morning to late at night so a flexible approach is essential. No two days are the same and our Customer Service Assistants enjoy working at a fast pace, doing a variety of tasks from making breakfast rolls through to filling the shelves. As Customer Service Assistant your priority is making sure our customers have a great experience every time they visit the store, through friendly service, great product availability and first-class hygiene standards.

You will be required to prepare and serve various products which could include raw and cooked meat, alcohol, and foods containing allergens. You will also be on your feet for long periods of time, and many of our roles will involve some lifting, carrying and other tasks such as stock merchandising and cleaning.

If you have enthusiasm, a passion for customer service, and excellent communication skills we would love to hear from you.

This role will focus on preparing food on our Food to Go counter.

Training will be provided but experience in a sales or retail environment would be an advantage, as would previous knowledge of food safety practices.

Full time: 35 hours per week
Fixed Term: for one year (1st March 2025 – 28th February 2026)

We are seeking a highly motivated and dedicated research assistant to join an innovative project investigating the novel roles of kinetochore proteins in brain development. This project builds on a pioneering discovery made by the Cheerambathur Lab, which revealed that kinetochore proteins, traditionally known for their role in chromosome segregation during cell division, also have a cell division-independent function during neurodevelopment.

The Opportunity:

As a member of our multidisciplinary research team, you will have the unique opportunity to work with a diverse range of model systems, including C. elegans and in vitro mammalian cell cultures, and employ cutting-edge techniques in genetics, fluorescence microscopy, quantitative image analysis and biochemistry. This is a fantastic opportunity for candidates who are eager to expand their expertise and to thrive in a stimulating and inclusive academic environment equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. You will have access to a wealth of resources, including training courses and conferences, to support your growth as a scientist and work on your own professional development.

Candidates with a degree in cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, or neuroscience and knowledge or experience in cell culture and/or biochemical techniques are strongly encouraged to apply.

The start date for this position is flexible and will be funded through a Wellcome Trust grant. Requests for informal enquiries should be sent to Dr. Dhanya Cheerambathur (dhanya.cheerambathur@ed.ac.uk).

Your skills and attributes for success:

Strong motivation to learn new skills and collaborate effectively within a team.
Excellent time management, communication, and organizational skills, with meticulous attention to detail.
Proficiency in standard molecular biology techniques.
Knowledge of biochemistry and/or experience with cell culture (mammalian cells) or model organisms is a plus.
