Microbiologist — Cerba Lancet Mozambique (Maputo)

The essentials: Full-time Microbiologist vacancy at Cerba Lancet Mozambique, in Maputo. Applications are open until November 1, 2026 and CV submission is done via email.

About the role

Cerba Lancet Mozambique is looking for a Microbiologist to join the laboratory team and reinforce the quality, reliability, and efficiency of microbiological diagnostic services. You will work in a laboratory service where each sample goes through culture, identification, and antibiogram before reaching a useful result.

Day-to-day life revolves around biological samples: they are received, verified, and processed for analysis; cultures and antibiograms are performed; quality is controlled; and stock, reagents, and expiry dates are monitored. All in a laboratory where precision, traceability, and biosafety are non-negotiable.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone with rigor and attention to detail, comfortable in a laboratory environment, and able to stay focused even when sample volume rises. Practical fit matters more than the title on the resume: we are interested in the person who treats each sample as if it were their own, verifies before proceeding, and reports without hesitation when something doesn't add up.

If you enjoy teamwork, follow procedures, and know how to handle pressure without losing your cool, this role is for you. The laboratory is a space where a slip-up has consequences, and the profile we are looking for is precisely the opposite of that.

What you will do day-to-day

On a typical day, work is divided between sample reception, analysis execution, and quality control:

• Receive, verify, and process biological samples for microbiological analysis.
• Perform direct examinations, cultures, isolation, and identification of microorganisms.
• Execute antibiograms and antimicrobial susceptibility tests.
• Ensure the correct preparation of culture media, reagents, and consumables.
• Ensure quality control of procedures and results.
• Communicate critical findings to the technical manager and comply with biosafety and waste management standards.
• Monitor stock and expiry dates of reagents and materials.
• Collaborate with other laboratory sectors to ensure efficiency and delivery deadlines.
• Ensure the maintenance, conservation, and proper use of laboratory equipment.
• Ensure traceability, conservation, and confidentiality of samples and results.
• Comply with standard operating procedures and contribute to the continuous improvement of processes.

What the company offers

• Full-time contract in Maputo.
• Integration into a laboratory team dedicated to microbiological diagnosis.
• Remunuration to be discussed with the company — the salary range has not been disclosed.
