Our employees are our strength and contribute to knowledge exchange nationally and internationally. With digital tools and new ways of working, we can simplify daily operations at the hospital and provide modern, accessible, and efficient care of the highest quality. Regional Laboratory Medicine is part of Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Division 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, Hospitals in the West, and NU Healthcare. About Us We are seeking colleagues who want to work with us in Clinical Pathology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. We are a regional operation in transition 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. At Pathology Laboratory 3 at Sahlgrenska Hospital, we are a team of about twenty employees, mainly biomedical analysts but also biologists. Work is performed largely in teams together with physicians. Our tasks include managing orders for immunohistochemical analyses on tissue samples to facilitate accurate diagnosis and conveying test 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 handling of scanned microscope slides after staining as part of our ongoing development work. About the Work At 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 involves paraffin embedding, sectioning, cutting frozen sections, immunochemical 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 possible interview. Everyone who joins us receives in-house training and we work with certification programs to ensure quality in the training process. About You You are a licensed biomedical analyst with a focus on cell and molecular biology. You have a good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both verbally 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 a significant plus is if you have previously worked at a pathology laboratory. A Master's degree in a relevant field is an asset. We are looking for someone who is thorough, can plan and prioritize your work, and adapt to changing circumstances. The work requires a certain manual dexterity as parts of the process are handled manually. You work well with others, 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 together contribute to a good work environment. We hope you will become part of our team!
