Job Advertisement: Biomedical Analyst in Clinical Pathology

Together, we are developing Sahlgrenska University Hospital for a sustainable future. We are transforming healthcare with the goal of becoming Europe’s leading university hospital by 2032. Together with patients, we work for quality, accessibility, patient safety, research, education, and innovation – in a cohesive healthcare system in the Västra Götaland region. Our vision and goals aim for care of the highest quality, where the patient is always in focus. We offer healthcare locally and regionally, but also highly specialized care to patients across the country and abroad. Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify everyday life at the hospital and provide modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality.

About Us

We are looking for employees who want to work with us in Clinical Pathology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

We are a regional operation in change and development with a focus on digitization within diagnostics. We are now looking for someone interested in working in histopathology with a focus on immunohistochemistry.

Within Pathology Laboratory 3 at Sahlgrenska Hospital, we are about twenty employees, mainly biomedical analysts. The work is mostly performed in teams alongside doctors. Tasks with us include taking care of orders for immunohistochemical analyses on tissue samples to facilitate accurate diagnosis and communicating test results to treating physicians so that patients can receive optimal treatment. Much of the work is performed using automated staining machines, but conventional processing of tissue samples according to histopathological methods is also included. We are increasingly working with digital image management of scanned specimen slides after staining as part of our ongoing development work.

About the Job

At the Pathology Laboratories, we work in teams, and you will collaborate with other biomedical analysts, biologists, laboratory technicians, laboratory assistants, nursing assistants, and doctors. The work involves paraffin embedding, sectioning, sectioning of frozen specimens, immuno- and histochemical staining. There is also handling of urgent samples from transplanted patients in one of the units, which also includes an on-call line. We will tell you more about this in a possible interview.

Everyone who comes to us receives internal training, and we work with competency certificates to ensure the quality of training.

About You

You are a licensed biomedical analyst. You have a good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing, and are accustomed to using digital tools in your work. Experience in laboratory operations is an advantage, and it is a big plus if you have previously worked in a pathology laboratory. A Master's or Magister degree in a relevant field is also advantageous.

We are looking for someone who is meticulous, can plan and prioritize their work, and adapt to changing circumstances. The job requires a certain manual dexterity as parts of the process are handled manually. You find it easy to collaborate, enjoy working in a team, and are good at communicating with your colleagues and others you work with.

With the patient in focus, loyalty, commitment, and care for one another, we contribute together to a good working environment. We hope you want to be a part of our team!

We work based on a competency-based recruitment process, and in this process, we use selection questions instead of a personal letter.

Selection and interviews are ongoing.

Warm welcome with your application!
