About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • You will design, execute, and iterate the full range of microbiology workflows that underpin our platform
  • You will manage clinical isolate intake from diverse sources and matrices, design acceptance criteria, validate storage integrity, and establish culture conditions for the full range of organisms we work with
  • You will build and own the quality control infrastructure for all strains entering the biobank
  • You will write, validate, and iterate SOPs across all microbiology workflows
  • You will take ownership of consumables and reagent management, equipment maintenance scheduling, and safety compliance
  • You will work closely with the ML, biophotonics, and data science teams to design experimental protocols

  • A demonstrated publication record in peer-reviewed international journals is expected, with publications in high-impact outlets a strong plus
  • Patent authorship or involvement in IP generation is valued
  • 3+ years of hands-on R&D experience in an applied, clinical, or industrial microbiology setting
  • Solid grounding in bacterial culture and AST (BMD preferred, EUCAST-aligned), with direct experience in AMR research
  • Familiarity with fastidious organisms, anaerobic culture, low-biomass sampling, or complex clinical matrices is a plus
  • Comfortable writing clear SOPs, maintaining traceable laboratory records, and building documentation that anticipates regulatory review
  • Able to process and interpret complex experimental datasets
  • Excel proficiency expected; Python or R is a bonus
  • Familiarity with LIMS or digital traceability tools is appreciated
  • Able to prioritise in an uncertain environment, manage several parallel workstreams, and communicate clearly when a decision needs escalation

  • Hold genuine ownership of critical workstreams in a laboratory that is actively scaling
  • Collaborate on high-visibility projects with clinical and commercial trajectory, including publications and regulatory science
