About the Antimicrobial Resistance Programme:

The Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark (AMR Benchmark) is the first independent analysis of pharmaceutical industry efforts to tackle drug resistance and ensure appropriate access to their products in low- and middle-income countries. It compares how a cross-section of the pharmaceutical companies is responding to the threat of drug-resistant infections. It measures the most active players in the antimicrobial space and includes large research-based companies, manufacturers of generic medicines and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The main areas tracked are R&D for new antimicrobials, strategies for ensuring antibiotics are manufactured responsibly, and approaches to ensure antimicrobials are accessible in low- and middle-income countries and used appropriately.

How to Apply:

Interested in this exciting opportunity? Please send the following documents to the recruitment team at the Access to Medicine Foundation:

  • a cover letter with your motivation on why you would like to join the Access to Medicine Foundation and how you think you will fit in our team;
  • your resume;

  • the contact details of two references (email address and/or phone number).
