In 2023, only 43% of biomedical science graduates secured jobs in science, with the majority venturing into non-scientific careers. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly difficult for graduates without postgraduate qualifications to secure jobs in scientific research. The LMS recognises the challenges that new science graduates face, with the lack of opportunities available to them, and is committed to improving this situation. The LMS science technology graduate programme has been established to provide UK graduates with an exciting opportunity to increase their scientific knowledge, develop their technical skills, and inspire the next generation of UK scientists. Graduates will be based within our core research facilities, where they will work to progress scientific outputs, develop facility methodologies, and conduct environmental sustainability-related pilots for the betterment of the institute.
Graduates enrolling on this programme will receive high-quality training in cutting-edge biomedical research technologies, hands-on laboratory experience and a meaningful job, interacting with some of the best scientists in the UK. Besides offering specialist training and practical experience, you will have access to training courses and opportunities that will further your professional development. This programme intends to provide a comprehensive package that will develop aspiring scientists into highly sought after technical professionals, equipped to pursue a career in science.
