Haemme lääketehtaamme osaavaan ja kasvavaan joukkoon tuotannon operaattoreita Bufferin, Upstreamin, Downstreamin sekä Drug Productin tiimeihin.
Taustaltasi voit olla esimerkiksi laborantti, bioanalyytikko, vastavalmistunut maisteri (esim. kemia, solu- ja molekyylibiologia, biolääketiede) tai prosessiteollisuuden perustutkinnon suorittanut.
Buffer-tiimissä valmistamme kaikki tuotannossa käyttämämme liokset, Upstream-tiimissä aloitamme tuotantoprosessin soluviljelyllä ja jatkamme solujen kasvattamista bioreaktoreissa. Prosessin aikana solut infektoidaan ja lopulta kerätään talteen. Upstreamista tuote siirtyy Downstream-tiimille, joka puolestaan puhdistaa tuotteen kromatografisilla menetelmillä niin, että tuote on vihdoin valmis täytettäväksi lääkepulloihin. Drug Product -tiimi keskittyy aseptiseen täyttämiseen ja tuotteen loppuvaiheen toimenpiteisiin kuten formulointiin, fillingiin sekä pakkaamiseen liittyviin toimintoihin. Drug Product -tiimissä taustasi voi olla myös esimerkiksi farmaseutti.
Jos olet työotteeltasi tarkka ja järjestelmällinen etkä pelkää laitteita tai haasteita ja muuttuvia tilanteita, sinulla on hyvät edellytykset sopia joukkoon. Etsimme henkilöä, joka viihtyy käytännön laboratoriotyössä sekä lääketeollisuudelle tyypillisen tarkan dokumentaatiotyön parissa. Meillä on työkielenä pääasiassa englanti, joten sinun tulisi pystyä seuraaman englanninkielisiä työohjeita sekä kommunikoimaan tarvittaessa englanniksi. Ennen kaikkea etsimme kuitenkin mukavia työkavereita, joilla on can do -asenne.
Tilanteesta ja tiimistä riippuen meillä on tarjolla määräaikaisia ja toistaiseksi voimassa olevia työsuhteita ja toivoisimme sinun pystyvän aloittamaan tammikuussa tai helmikuussa. Meillä tehdään töitä 2-vuorotyönä ja osittain myös viikonloppuisin. Myöhemmin tulevaisuudessa työ voi olla myös 3-vuorotyötä.
Tarjoamme sinulle dynaamisen ja kansainvälisen työyhteisön. Tuemme fyysistä ja henkistä hyvinvointiasi hyvällä työterveyshuollon palveluvalikoimalla sekä ePassi-tilillä. Lisäksi tarjoamme sinulle kehittymismahdollisuuksia, laajan perehdytyskoulutuksen ja lämpimän vastaanoton. Ennen kaikkea pääset osalliseksi mahtavaa työporukkaa! FinVector sijaitsee elämää sykkivässä Kuopiossa, joka tarjoaa asukkailleen turvallisen elinympäristön, ystävällisen ilmapiirin ja puhtaan luonnon.

Suomen Solubiologit ry järjesti pitkästä aikaa seminaarin, jota päästiin kuuntelemaan myös paikan päällä.
Itä-Suomen yliopiston biolääketieteen opiskelijoiden ainejärjestö Kulti ry:n kanssa järjestetty työelämäseminaari keräsi mukavasti opiskelijoita kuuntelemaan alalta työllistyneiden näkökulmia työelämään siirtymisestä.
Suomen Solubiologit ry:n puheenjohtaja Johanna Matilainen avaamassa tilaisuuden.
Ensimmäisenä puhujana oli Eetu Salmela (FinVector/KCT), joka kertoi HR-puolen näkökulman työnhakuun ja antoi opiskelijoille vinkkejä hakemusten suhteen. Seuraavina puhujina olivat Anu Kauppinen (professori, Itä-Suomen yliopisto), Sami Valkonen (QC planner, FinVector) ja Soile Turunen (laboratoriopäällikkö, Afekta technologies; väitöskirjatutkija, Itä-Suomen yliopisto). He jakoivat omat uratarinansa niin akateemiselta kuin yritysmaailman puolelta. Tilaisuuden päätti Stina Leskelä (mikrobiologian asiantuntija, Movet oy) omaan uratarinaansa.

Yhdistyksemme haluaa ehdottomasti tukea opiskelijajärjestöjä ja niinpä seminaarin tarjoilut tilattiin Kulti ry:ltä, joka toimitti paikalle itse leivotut mokkapalat.
Kulti ry:n leipomat mokkapalat ilahduttivat seminaarin väkeä kahvitauolla.
Mahtavan seminaarin päätteeksi oli vapaata seurustelua, jossa opiskelijoilla oli tilaisuus jututtaa puhujia ja verkostoitua.
