Thank you for your interest in working at the NC3Rs. Our work covers a wide range of scientific disciplines and technologies, and recruiting talented and committed individuals is key to delivering the NC3Rs mission.

Science-led and evidence-based, the NC3Rs is the UK’s national organisation for the 3Rs, established in 2004 to accelerate the development and uptake of approaches that replace, reduce or refine the use of animals in research and testing. The NC3Rs has earned a reputation nationally and internationally for scientific excellence, demonstrating that the 3Rs deliver benefits for animal welfare and new knowledge for improving human health, protecting the environment and generating business opportunities.

The NC3Rs is primarily funded by Government. It has an annual budget of approximately £10.5M. Activities are divided between its role as the UK’s major funder of 3Rs research and innovation, and its science programmes led by its own staff. 

We currently have no vacancies.
