[What the role is]

We are looking for a self-driven and committed individual to augment our research and surveillance programmes at the Environmental Health Institute (EHI). If you enjoy working in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary environment where your work outcomes are translated into evidence-based public health programmes and policies, we invite you to join us.

As part of a research programme, the role involves a significant amount of routine and systematic fieldwork and laboratory tasks, which form the foundation of our evidence-based research outcomes. You will be involved in a myriad of entomological activities including, but not limited to vector surveillance and lab studies, mosquito identification, sample processing, data entry and analyses, preparation, and maintenance of logistics.

  • Bachelor’s Degree or above in Life Sciences or related disciplines
  • At least 1 year of relevant experience in entomology or related life science areas would be an advantage
  • Able to work independently and in a team
