Tehtäväkuvaus

Innostaisiko sinua työ nopeasti kehittyvällä alalla? Geneettinen analytiikka kehittyy kiihtyvällä vauhdilla ja vaikuttaa yhä useamman potilaan hoitoon. Genetiikan laboratorio tarvitsee lisää ammattilaisia vastaamaan tähän haasteeseen.

HUS Diagnostiikkakeskus on Suomen johtava kliinisten laboratorio- ja kuvantamispalvelujen tuottaja. HUS Diagnostiikkakeskuksen pääasiallinen toiminta-alue on HUS-kuntayhtymän erikoissairaanhoito ja HUSiin kuuluvien kuntien perusterveydenhuolto sekä Kymenlaakson sosiaali- ja terveyspalvelujen kuntayhtymän (Kymsote) ja Etelä-Karjalan sosiaali- ja terveyspiirin (Eksote) alueen laboratorio- ja kuvantamistoiminta. HUS Diagnostiikkakeskuksessa työskentelee noin 3500 laboratorio- ja kuvantamisalan asiantuntijaa ja toimintaa on yli 170 toimipisteessä.

Laboratorion tutkimusvalikoima kattaa laajasti sekä perittyjen että somaattisten muutosten tutkimuksia ja toiminta on voimakkaasti siirtymässä genomin laajuisiin tutkimuksiin.

Tehtävän hoitaminen edellyttää sinulta aloitteellista ja itsenäistä työotetta, hyvää organisointikykyä, hyviä vuorovaikutustaitoja sekä innostusta uuden oppimiseen ja kehittämiseen.
