Life at Oxford Nanopore

Anyone, anywhere

Together we are researching, developing and making an innovative platform technology that is having a profound and positive impact on society. The diversity of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives across our teams reflect this collective goal, and the global scientific community we serve.

Innovation is at the heart of what we do, our game changing ideas arise when every perspective is considered. We see inclusion as a way of being and strive to break down barriers to equality in every corner of our business, and the industry we represent.

We’re proud sponsors and advocates of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Broadening Horizons initiative, offering opportunities to brilliant minds from minoritised ethnicities and our STEM outreach activities inspire early career choices in disadvantaged communities.

Through our employee experience community – Values in Action – every employee has a voice and you will too. Our global network of business sponsors are entrusted to listen and turn ideas into actions.

Talent development

As we rely on innovating and evolving our technology we’re committed to developing the talent behind it. You’ll enhance your own learning every day as you collaborate in multi-disciplinary teams, stretching your skills and challenging your thinking. From day one you’ll have access to an infinite resource of self-led development through LinkedIn Learning, enabling you to explore interests, build skills and feed your curiosity at any time.

Your manager will support your personal and professional development enabling you to drive your career and deepen your expertise at your own pace.

Through our mentoring programme, collaboration with colleagues across the organisation and coaching, you'll learn from experts and leaders in their field. In an organisation with such rapid growth, you'll have every opportunity to grow with us, building a fulfilling career where you may often find yourself ahead of the field too.
