Why work with us?

The Sarawak Infectious Disease Centre Sdn. Bhd. (SIDC) will be home to the state’s premier life science laboratories, including Sarawak’s first Biosafety Level-3 (BSL-3) facility, enabling research on highly pathogenic organisms, strengthening outbreak preparedness, and connecting Sarawak to global infectious disease networks. The centre will feature advanced genomics, metabolomics, molecular biology, and computational platforms to drive discovery, diagnostics, and translational research.

At SIDC, we believe meaningful work and the joy of discovery go hand in hand. Join our curious, collaborative, and mission-driven team, united to improve health equity in Sarawak and advance infectious disease research. We value open communication, rigor, and cross-disciplinary learning, fostering a workplace where everyone can contribute, grow, and make an impact.

Benefits:

  • Medical insurance for employees and immediate family members
  • Monthly mobile phone allowance
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience
  • Minimum of 20 days annual leave per year
  • Work permit support for non-Sarawakian residents

The biggest gain I have made throughout my career in SIDC is the exposure to new connections and training opportunities. One of the core values that the institution advocates is personal and collective growth, whereby funding has been allocated to support staff development. Regardless of position, every member is given equal opportunity to lead, and the team upholds an open culture in which everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions. You will not regret joining us in your early or mid-career, as we have a supportive team and ample growing opportunities to accelerate your research career in the biomedical field.
