Biomedical Analyst or Medical Biologist at Laboratory Medicine Västerbotten

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equal welfare and for research and innovation to yield results. Clinical pathology is part of Laboratory Medicine, a regional organization with operations in Lycksele, Skellefteå, and Umeå.

Laboratory Medicine Västerbotten comprises approximately 500 employees and includes clinical pathology, clinical microbiology, healthcare hygiene, clinical genetics, clinical immunology and transfusion medicine, clinical chemistry, biobanking, and tissue establishment. Through agreements, we have total responsibility for clinical pathology in Östersund, including medical management responsibility for immunology and transfusion medicine, clinical chemistry, and clinical microbiology.

The operations are accredited, and we work according to the quality system that Laboratory Medicine's accreditation is based on. Approximately 120 people work in the clinical pathology laboratories in Umeå and about 15 in Östersund. Thanks to our rapid development and increasing number of analyses, staffing has significantly increased in recent years, and we have become a large group with strong cohesion, humor, and job satisfaction.

In Östersund, we work with patient samples from Jämtland County. We handle the histopathological process, and cancer diagnostics occur at the cellular level using materials such as various tissues and cell suspensions.

If needed, there is an opportunity to receive assistance with housing in Östersund through Landstingsbostäder.
