About ICARS
The International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions (ICARS) is a young organization with a mission to develop evidence-based solutions to mitigate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries. Working in partnership with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), ICARS uses intervention and implementation research to support the countries in implementing their National Action Plans.
ICARS was initially part of the Danish Ministry of Health but became an independent self-governing institution in November 2021. We have in this process worked to establish the necessary administrative and financial systems and procedures and still have a close cooperation with the Ministry of Health which has the oversight role of ICARS. A number of financial and administrative services are procured via the Ministry of Health, including financial services and salary payments.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team that is developing the scientific and organisational foundation of ICARS. Our team is composed of enthusiastic international pioneers that believe in ICARS’ mission and are highly motivated to ensure its success.
