Life at EMBL-EBI
With outstanding technical infrastructure and a flexible working style, EMBL-EBI is a medium-sized organisation with a small-company feel. Located on the beautifully landscaped Wellcome Genome Campus, our staff enjoy a vibrant, interdisciplinary working environment just 12km from central Cambridge. The campus offers a free commuter bus service, a library, on-site nursery and subsidised gym and restaurants.
As part of EMBL, we recruit internationally and offer competitive salary and benefits, including help for those moving far from home. Our staff benefit from a supportive environment, with scientific training, world-class seminars and many opportunities to move between projects and learn on the job. We also offer general training to help our staff build skills for personal development.
