Flexible working hours

&lt;p&gt;Bioscint Engineering Ltd is a Maltese medical engineering company established in 2014, specialising in the supply, installation, servicing and application support of medical devices — with a growing focus on infection-prevention technologies, endoscope reprocessing systems and clinical-microbiology monitoring solutions across the Maltese healthcare market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are presently looking to recruit a Clinical Microbiologist to join our research and development project team on a &lt;strong&gt;part-time&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;fixed-term basis (approx for 12hrs per month from Janaury 2027 to April 2028)&lt;/strong&gt;, and to lead the microbiological work programme of one of our internal research projects. As a member of our team, your responsibilities would include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Advising on the design of the microbiological work programme, including comparator methods (heterotrophic plate count / aerobic CFU per ISO EN 15883-4), Pseudomonas aeruginosa detection, and reference-strain spike-recovery experiments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Reviewing and approving the microbiological protocols and standard operating procedures authored by the Bioscint R&amp;amp;D team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Overseeing selection and handling of ATCC reference strains and providing technical guidance on culture conditions, quality-control organisms and neutraliser selection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Interpreting microbiological results generated by the project team and by the subcontracted reference laboratory, and providing clinical-microbiology sign-off on the microbiological findings included in the project deliverables.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Contributing microbiological expertise to the derivation and clinical interpretation of the ATP action-level thresholds proposed under the project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Reviewing interim and final technical reports of the project from a clinical-microbiology standpoint prior to submission to the funding body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Contributing, where appropriate, to the dissemination outputs of the project (co-authorship of conference posters and peer-reviewed publications).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ideal candidate should meet the following requirements:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Be a qualified Clinical Microbiologist, holding a recognised postgraduate qualification in clinical or medical microbiology, or a closely related discipline.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Have current or recent experience in a hospital or reference-laboratory clinical-microbiology setting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Have familiarity with water-quality microbiology, endoscope reprocessing standards, or infection-prevention monitoring in a healthcare setting (strongly desirable).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· If a working knowledge of ISO EN 15883 (endoscope washer-disinfector standards), or of relevant national or international guidelines on endoscope reprocessing is present – this will be considered an asset&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Be comfortable operating in a defined-term part-time role alongside any existing clinical commitments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Have excellent written English and the ability to review and contribute to technical protocols and reports to publication-quality standards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;· Have the right to live and work in Malta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A competitive hourly rate, together with the opportunity to contribute to a funded national research programme and to co-author peer-reviewed publications arising from the project, shall be offered to the right candidate.&lt;/p&gt;
