Unraveling the Role of Exotic Pets in Transmission and Persistence of Zoonotic Antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacterales

This research project investigates the role of exotic companion animals in the transmission and persistence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) Enterobacterales, with a focus on zoonotic risks to their caregivers. The study aims to understand how antimicrobial resistance circulates between pets and humans in close-contact domestic environments.

We invite applications from highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates with a strong academic background in Microbiology, Biomedical Science, Veterinary Science, or a closely related field. The successful candidate will contribute to sample processing, bacterial isolation and identification, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and data analysis, gaining valuable hands-on experience in AMR research at the human–animal interface.

This position offers an excellent opportunity to work on a timely and impactful One Health project under supportive supervision in a collaborative research environment.

Duties

  • Collect faecal and buccal swab samples from animals admitted to clinics;
  • Ensure the proper storage and handling of collected samples;
  • Perform data collection by interviewing the owners of the animals;
  • Maintain accurate and organised records of all collected data and samples; and
  • Assist with general laboratory duties and administrative tasks as needed.

Requirements

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology/Biomedical Science/Veterinary Science/Animal Science or a related disciplines;
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills for data collection from animal owners;
  • Detail-oriented with excellent organisational and record-keeping abilities;
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team are required.
  • Excellent command of written and spoken English and Chinese (preferably in Cantonese); and
  • Previous experience in animal handling and sample collection is preferred.
