Job Description

Research Scientist - Pebble Biotechnology Laboratories

Are you a brilliant graduate scientist looking for work that genuinely matters?

Pebble evaluates the world's most innovative therapies using living organs maintained outside the body, perfused with blood and functioning as they would in a living patient. The data we generate helps determine which therapies advance to patients.

We're founded on three ethical directives that are absolute:

We will never use laboratory animals, our mission is to find genuine alternatives that work. We're committed to tangible science that benefits patients, not dogma or routine. We have a genuine mission to create a brilliant working environment that nurtures the next generation of scientists.

What You'll Do

In any given week you could test a potentially curative gene therapy, an advanced life-support system, or a computer-brain interface that brings sensation to a biorobotic limb. You might evaluate nanoparticles, develop new trauma models, test a 'moonshot' technology, or a bioactive compound found in a tropical rainforest.

You'll perform experimental surgery, conduct critical care monitoring, physiological analysis, immune profiling, and use AI approaches to study the effects of therapies in ways that directly replace primate studies.

Who We Are

Our team is truly multidisciplinary: experimental surgeons, clinical surgeons, perfusionists, immunologists, engineers, physiologists. We're unconventional, curious, inventive and collaborative. We solve challenging problems, disrupt the boring, and reject dogma.

We're selective about who we work with, only partnering with the most innovative drug and device developers in the world.

Who You Are

A first-class graduate scientist in life sciences or engineering who questions why things are done the way they've always been done. Intellectually curious, with motivation and stamina, who can thrive in controlled chaos where every experiment matters.

What You Must Have

A first-class degree

A full UK driving licence

A commitment to work - night shifts, early mornings, late shifts, because Pebble doesn't sleep
