  2. Graphic designer/illustrator

    Do you have experience with graphics or design? Then, we can use your help in making engaging visuals for our social media and website following the IMD brand.

  3. WEBSITE COORDINATOR

4. BLOG COORDINATOR

Every year we publish different blogs on microbiology on our website, and this role will help us coordinate with blog writers to draft and post these blogs. Good project management skills are essential and experience with SquareSpace is an advantage.

5. BLOG WRITERS
