Hei laboratorioalan ammattilainen, meillä on tarjolla sinua kiinnostavia työtehtäviä!
Etsimme Kuopion yliopistollisen sairaalan Kuvantamiskeskuksen, tulevalle Pohjois-Savon hyvinvointialueelle, Radiofarmasian yksikköön kahta laboratorioteknikkoa vakituiseen tehtävään.
Yksikössä tuotetaan sairaala-apteekin valvonnassa radioaktiivisia lääkkeitä sairaalan omaan käyttöön. Yksikössä lisäksi kehitetään uusia radiolääkkeiden tuotantomenetelmiä sekä tehdään radiolääkkeisiin ja niiden käyttöön liittyvää tutkimusta.
Haettavan laboratorioteknikon tehtävän merkittävimpiä työtehtäviä ovat: automatisoitujen radiolääketuotantojen tekeminen, aseptinen annostelu, laadunvalvonnan mittausten suoritus, lääketuotannon materiaalin vastaanotto, inventaario ja varastojen ylläpito, sekä lääketuotantotilojen päivittäiset ohjeistetut ylläpito- ja seurantatoimet. Työskentelyssä korostuu hyvän laatu- ja turvallisuuskulttuurin (GMP ja säteilyturvallisuus) ylläpito ja ymmärrys. Työnkuva edellyttää huolellista ja vastuullista otetta, sekä kykyä moniammatilliseen tiimityöskentelyyn. Laboratorioteknikkojen päivittäinen työaika ajoittuu klo 6:00-16:00 välille.
Olisitko sinä etsimämme henkilö?
Tehtävän kelpoisuusvaatimuksena on tehtävään soveltuva toisen asteen perustutkinto tai toimintaan soveltuva ammattikorkeakoulu- tai vastaava opistotasoinen tutkinto. Valituksi tulevat henkilöt koulutetaan tehtäviinsä, mutta kokemus lääketuotannosta, aseptisesta työskentelystä, laboratoriotyöstä, laadunvarmistustehtävistä (esim. kromatografisten menetelmien (HPLC, GC) tuntemus) katsotaan eduksi, samoin kokemus puhdastilatyöskentelystä ja radioaktiivisten aineiden käsittelystä.
Tehtävään valitun tulee ennen valintapäätöksen vahvistamista esittää työterveyshuollon ammattihenkilön antama hyväksyttävä selvitys terveydentilastaan. Noudatamme tartuntatautilain 48 • ja 48 a •:n säännöksiä ja suositamme kaikille asiakas-/potilastehtävissä työskenteleville työntekijöillemme niiden mukaista rokotussuojaa.
Tehtävän täyttämisessä käytetään neljän kuukauden koeaikaa.
Tutkimusryhmässämme on avoinna mielenkiintoinen työpaikka. Syanobakteerit ovat tärkeitä perustuottajia. Syanobakteerien solujen toiminta mukautuu ympäristön hiilidioksipitoisuuteen, mutta emme tiedä, miten ne mittaavat käytettävissä olevan hiilidioksidin määrää ja mitkä molekyylitason mekanismit säätävät eri elintoimintoja. Olemme löytäneet Synechocystis-syanobakteerista uuden signaalinsiirtoreitin, joka yhdistää kasvun ja hiilidioksidin määrän. Tutkimuksemme tarkoituksena on selvittää tämän säätelyreitin toiminta yksityiskohtaisesti.
Tehtävän sisältö
Pyrkimyksenä on (1) tunnistaa loputkin signaalisiirtoreitin osista, kuten kinaasi ja fosfataasi, (2) selvittää signaalisiirtoreitin toimintamekanismi molekyylitasolla, 3) tunnistaa signaalimolekyyli, joka viestii hiilidioksidin määrästä, ja 4) tunnistamaa solun prosesessit, joita signaalinsiirtoreitti säätelee, erityisesti keskitymme fotosynteesiin, kasvuun ja solun jakautumismekanismiin.
Hakijalta toivomme
Hakijalla on tohtorin tutkinto (tai väitöskirjatyö lähes valmis) soveltuvalta alalta. Lisäksi edellytämme erinomaisia tietoja molekyylibiologiasta ja käytännön kokomusta työskentelystä molekyylibiologian laboratoriossa. Erityisesti arvostamme kokemusta syanobakteeritutkimuksesta, ja proteiinien puhdistamisesta ja tuottamisesta. Käytännössä töihin kuuluu mahdollisten kinaasien ja fosfataasien tuottamista ja niiden aktiivisuuden testaamista. Lisäksi projektissa valmistetaan Synechocystis-mutanttikantoja, joissa mutaatioiden vaikutusta geenien ilmenemiseen, solunjakautumiseen ja fotosynteesiin tutkitaan.
Englannin kielen erinomainen osaaminen, sekä kirjallisesti että suullisesti, on välttämätöntä ja hakijan tulee esittää todistus siitä. Tehtävässä on kuuden kuukauden koeaika.
Palkkaus ja työsuhteen kesto
Työtehtävän kesto on yksi vuosi.Palkka määräytyy yliopistojen työehtosopimuksen perusteella. Tehtävä kuuluu opetus- ja tutkimushenkilökuntaan ja keskimääräinen palkka kokeneelle projektitutkijalle on noin 2600 – 2900 eur/kk ja tutkijatohtorille noin 3300 – 3400 eur/kk.
Valintakriteerimme perustuvat siihen, että löydämme tehtävään pätevimmän ja sopivimman henkilön. Käytännössä se tarkoittaa, että huomioon otetaan paitsi koulutus, tieteelliset julkaisut ja työkokemus, myös henkilökohtaiset ominaisuudet, kommunikaatio- ja motivaatiotekijät, kielitaito sekä muut tehtävän hoitamisen kannalta olennaiset tekijät.
Hakemuksen lähettäminen
Lähetäthän hakemuksesi mahdollisimman pian, kuitenkin viimeistään 15.11.2022 yliopiston sähköisen hakujärjestelmän kautta.
Linkki hakujärjestelmään löytyy yliopiston nettisivuilta.
