Our Operations

Would you like to be our next employee in the Department of Clinical Pathology?

The Academic Laboratory is looking for someone who wants to work in Clinical Pathology. The department mainly consists of three parts: Clinical Pathological Diagnostics, Clinical Cytological Diagnostics, and Clinical Autopsies and Mortuary Services. We handle the examination of cell and tissue samples, not only from the Academic Hospital and Region Uppsala but also from hospitals in the region.

We are located in our own building as part of the Rudbeck Laboratory and are organizationally part of the Academic Laboratory. Currently, about 120 people work in the department, of which approximately half are biomedical analysts (BMA). The work is carried out in close collaboration between BMA, pathologists (doctors), molecular biologists, nursing assistants, and other professional groups.

Your Mission

In the work within Clinical Pathology, you will be responsible for handling both formalin-fixed and unfixed histological samples. Since the laboratory consists of several different processes, examinations are also performed on blood, bone marrow, cerebrospinal fluid, lymph nodes, and other lymphoid tissue. We also perform molecular diagnostic analyses for several different cancer diagnoses.

Participation in quality work, guidance, training, and development of the operations is also included in the tasks. The mission is within clinical routine analyses.

Your Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is a licensed biomedical analyst or has equivalent competence in laboratory science. Practical experience and theoretical knowledge in histopathology are advantageous, as well as histological skills in sectioning and staining, and technical knowledge of complex instrumentation.

Your Competence

The work places high demands on accuracy, initiative, and independence. You will be part of a structure based on several processes with many involved, where collaboration is one of the cornerstones. Great emphasis will be placed on experience and personal qualities. Good language skills, both orally and in writing in Swedish, are a requirement.

We Offer

Permanent employment, full-time, daytime, possibly a probationary period of six months. Start date according to agreement.

Want to Work with Us?

Welcome with your application via the link below. Interviews will be conducted continuously.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that a balanced gender distribution and diversity bring to the organization. We therefore welcome applicants of all genders and with different backgrounds, abilities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala will place all permanently employed staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means that for the individual employee, there are no obligations in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Checks against suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all individuals that the employer intends to employ or engage for patient-related work, based on the possibility that they may work in psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of substance abusers, areas that are subject to optional record extracts. This applies to all who will work closely with patients, even if the tasks are not primarily intended to involve work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's management. We therefore ask for no phone calls from recruitment companies and advertisement sellers.
