With digital tools and new working methods, we can simplify daily operations at the hospital and provide modern, accessible, and efficient healthcare of the highest quality.
About Us
Clinical Genetics and Genomics at Sahlgrenska University Hospital (SU) has approximately 170 employees and is responsible for genetic analyses within laboratory medicine. In addition, samples are analyzed for research assignments in close collaboration with Sahlgrenska Academy (SA)/University of Gothenburg (GU). The operations are accredited according to ISO 15189:2022.
Center for Medical Genomics (CMG), as part of the operations, performs all genetic diagnostics for acquired and hereditary cancer, fetal diagnostics, and rare diseases, and is characterized by change management and development. The Unit for Genetic Analysis and Bioinformatics (GAB) is part of the center structure and has over 30 employees. There is close collaboration within the management group and between unit managers as they jointly manage CMG's assignments.
The Work
As unit manager for GAB, you work in a shared leadership role. You report directly to the operations manager for Clinical Genetics and Genomics and are part of the operations management. In this role, you actively contribute to the achievement and development of the operations. You are responsible for leading, planning, and developing the unit and employees based on the assignment and given organizational and economic frameworks. The assignment also includes driving and supporting strategic choices within methods, technology, and bioinformatics.
Initially, the position entails shared leadership with the existing manager, who is also center director for CMG. In the long term, the unit will be divided, and planning this change will be part of the assignment, meaning the role will gradually become more independent.
The position is a five-year management assignment with permanent employment in your base profession. The position offers the opportunity for your own research within a relevant subject area.
The role includes developing employee roles within the matrix structure that GAB represents within the center structure. GAB employees work with interpretation and development across all technical areas. Rapid development requires investments in infrastructure and competence, and working methods are continually evolving, for example, the transition to Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) used in our analyses within clinical pathology, clinical genetics, clinical microbiology, clinical immunology and transfusion medicine, and clinical chemistry. Through strengthened collaboration on genetics and NGS within laboratory medicine, SU, and SA/GU, good opportunities are created for broad and resource-efficient knowledge development for the benefit of patients and research.
About You
To be a candidate for this position, you must have a PhD (licentiate), and it is meritorious if you are a docent. Experience with development and change management is a requirement. Previous management or leadership assignments are meritorious, as are further education in management and leadership and experience from laboratory operations and/or genetic analysis work.
You have excellent communication skills and express yourself well in speech and writing, in Swedish and English. To succeed in this role, you must be able to lead and act decisively, make well-considered decisions, prioritize, and delegate. We also see that you have strategic and analytical ability and thrive in an environment where strategic work is combined with high-pace development work. You are responsive and have the ability to create collaboration, dialogue, and teamwork, as well as build relationships. As a person, you are accustomed to working toward goals and have a coaching and supportive approach. You choose working methods that utilize and develop employee competence and inspire and create participation in the operations.
Recruitment Process
Interviews with the employer and personnel organizations are planned for week 34. Recruitment tests at an Assessment Center are used as part of the selection and will be conducted on September 3.
We warmly welcome your application!
