Job description

Laboratory Technician in Biology and Chemistry

Placering: MAX IV

Mer information

The Support Labs team is part of the Beamline Office group and manages MAX IV’s user support laboratories, including the Biology Lab, Chemical Labs, Sample Environment Labs, Detector Support Lab, and specialized workshops. These facilities provide visiting scientists and staff with access to specialized equipment and expert assistance for sample preparation, characterization, and sample handling. As a user facility, MAX IV welcomes a wide range of external researchers. The Support Labs therefore play an essential role in enabling users to carry out their experiments safely, efficiently, and in accordance with established procedures and laboratory standards.

MAX IV is looking for an experienced laboratory technician to primarily support daily operations in the Bio and Chemical Labs. This is a hands‑on technical role with a strong focus on laboratory operations, user support, training, and equipment maintenance rather than conducting your own research. In this position, you will help ensure that laboratories, equipment, and users operate safely and efficiently, enabling visiting scientists to carry out successful experiments at MAX IV. The daily demands of each laboratory can vary widely, so we are looking for someone who will thrive in a very adaptive environment while still adhering to good working and safety practices.
