We take responsibility for equitable welfare and ensure that research and innovation deliver results. We are seeking an occupational hygienist for the Dermatology and STD Clinic at Norrlands University Hospital. The clinic is responsible for specialized care in dermatology and sexually transmitted diseases throughout Västerbotten and also has regional healthcare responsibility for a number of diagnostic groups, including more advanced occupational and environmental dermatology investigations. As a university clinic, we also have other specialist clinics in areas such as vulvar diseases, genital dermatology, tumors, dermatological surgery, and laser treatments. Operations are located at Norrlands University Hospital, but we also have telemedicine clinics in Lycksele and Skellefteå where light therapy is available. The clinic conducts research and education in close collaboration with Umeå University.

WORK TASKS As an occupational hygienist with us, you contribute knowledge and dedication that makes people feel secure.

You will work independently but in close collaboration with doctors and nurses in the team, as well as other staff at the clinic. Work tasks include exposure investigations through patient interviews on-site or via telephone/digital means. Through contact with companies and online research, you gather information about product content and subsequently make testing proposals, procure test substances, and prepare test preparations.

You will evaluate the testing activities and be involved in the continuous development work at the unit. You also have an advisory role in the region's procurement of diabetes aids, gloves, ostomy bags, and similar items. Since occupational and environmental dermatology is a small branch within dermatology, development and research often take place in collaboration with other university clinics in the country, which is also part of the collegial network. QUALIFICATIONS We are seeking someone with a university or college degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, or pharmacy. If you have work experience in this field, we consider it a merit. Knowledge or experience in research, toxicology, and/or occupational health issues is a merit.
