R&D Analyst

ShanX MedTech BV (SXMT, NL) is a dynamic company dedicated to revolutionizing healthcare through innovative diagnostic tools. Our journey began with a deeply personal experience, the founder's mother's near-fatal struggle with a poorly treated bacterial infection. This ignited our mission to transform infection management, propelling us to develop pioneering solutions that prevent unnecessary suffering.

At SXMT, impact is important. We're proud to introduce our ultra-rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing device, aiming to redefine how bacterial infections are treated. Our goal is clear: to equip healthcare professionals with the means to make informed treatment decisions swiftly and accurately. Through our innovative solutions, we're combating antibiotic resistance, enhancing patient outcomes, and saving lives.

As an R&D Analyst at SXMT, you will play a key role in the development of new proprietary assays. You will contribute to advancing our research and development activities by generating high-quality experimental data, translating scientific insights into practical solutions, and supporting the development and optimization of our innovative diagnostic technology. Your work will directly contribute to addressing a significant unmet medical need and, ultimately, improving patient care.

This is a full-time contract for 40 hours per week, extending over three years, with the possibility of extension and potential for an increased work week. The start date is as soon as possible and candidates will be evaluated on a rolling basis.
