Our Operations

The Regional Biobank Centre (RBC) Central Sweden is an administrative service and competence centre for biobank issues within the healthcare region. RBC is currently in an exciting phase of development as the government has decided to strengthen the conditions for clinical trials. In light of this, we are expanding our staffing and are now seeking an additional project coordinator with the role of regulatory investigator for clinical trials and performance studies.

RBC works with overarching and common healthcare regional issues affected by the Biobank Act and serves as a support to the seven regions of the healthcare region and their biobank activities. We work together with many different roles and functions, and the overarching goal is to improve care, diagnostics, and treatment. RBC has a central task to review biobank applications and provide statements to the Medical Products Agency and the Ethical Review Authority regarding clinical trials and performance studies. RBC Central Sweden is an important part of Biobank Sweden, which is a national infrastructure for biobanking.

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This means no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, a check of suspicion and criminal records will be conducted for all job seekers who in the sought position may come to work within psychiatric healthcare, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to primarily contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala's efforts, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
