Regional Laboratory Medicine is part of Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Area 4, and has a clear coordination mandate for the entire Västra Götaland Region. The organization consists of laboratory medicine operations at Södra Älvsborg Hospital, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, the Western Hospitals, and NU Healthcare. About Us We are seeking employees who want to work with us in Clinical Pathology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. We are a regional operation undergoing change and development with a focus on digitalization in 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 a team of about twenty employees, primarily biomedical analysts but also biologists. The work is carried out mainly in teams together with physicians. Our tasks include handling requests for immunohistochemical analyses on tissue samples to facilitate accurate diagnosis and communicating results to treating physicians so patients can receive optimal treatment. Much of the work is performed using automated staining machines, but conventional tissue processing according to histopathological methods is also included. We increasingly work with digital image management of scanned slides after staining as part of our ongoing development work. About the Work In the Pathology Laboratories, we work in teams and you will collaborate with other biomedical analysts, biologists, laboratory technicians, laboratory assistants, nursing assistants, and physicians. The work includes paraffin embedding, sectioning, cutting frozen preparations, immunohistochemical and histochemical staining. There is also handling of acute samples from transplant patients in one of the units, which includes an on-call line. We will tell you more about this at a potential interview. Everyone who joins us receives in-house training and we work with competency certifications to ensure quality training. About You You are a qualified biologist with a focus on cell and molecular biology. You have strong ability to express yourself in Swedish orally and in writing and are accustomed to using digital tools in your work. It is an advantage if you have experience from laboratory work, and it is a great plus if you have previously worked at a pathology laboratory. A Master's degree in a relevant field is an advantage. We are looking for someone who is thorough, can plan and prioritize your work, and adapt to changing circumstances. The work requires some manual dexterity as parts of the process are handled manually.
