Bioanalyst in Nuuk – professional challenges, good colleagues and great experiences in Greenland

Are you keen to develop professionally, make good colleagues and experience what it’s like to live and work in Greenland? Then we may have the job for you.

At Centrallaboratoriet at Dronning Ingrids Hospital in Nuuk we are looking for a bioanalyst for a permanent position with start in January 2027 or by agreement.

Whether you are an experienced bioanalyst seeking new challenges or recently qualified with a willingness to try something new, we would very much like to hear from you.

With us you will become part of a laboratory with great professional breadth where your work matters for patients both at Dronning Ingrids Hospital and in the rest of Greenland.

We also know that a good working life is about more than professionalism. It is about people, collaboration and the sense of belonging.

Therefore we want to create a workplace where we welcome each other, help each other in everyday life and allow room for both professional and personal development.

What can you look forward to with us?

• A thorough and personal introduction, where we base it on your experiences and competences.
• A varied workday with exciting professional challenges and the opportunity to learn new things.
• Engaged colleagues who work together to deliver laboratory services of high quality.
• Opportunity to develop professionally and gain experience with several laboratory areas.
• A workplace where we want to strengthen the sense of community, collaboration and well-being.

We attach importance to giving you a good start with us – both professionally and personally.

Who are you?

We imagine that you

• Are a licensed bioanalyst
• Would preferably have experience with clinical biochemistry, but you are also very welcome as a newly qualified
• Want to work broadly and develop your professional competences.
• Work responsibly, independently and with a focus on quality.
• Are curious, collaborative and want to contribute to a good collegial community
• Thrive in an everyday where tasks can vary and where we help each other find good solutions.

You do not need to be able to do everything from day one. The most important thing is that you bring your professionalism, your curiosity and the desire to become part of our team.

Your new laboratory

The Centrallaboratoriet is part of Dronning Ingrids Hospital in Nuuk and handles a large portion of the laboratory medical analyses for the Greenlandic health service.

We receive samples from the hospital's departments and from other units of the health service along the coast.

The laboratory works among other things with

• Clinical biochemistry
• Clinical immunology
• Clinical microbiology
• Blood sampling
• Medication analyses
• Molecular biological analyses
• Water analyses

Your primary tasks will be within clinical biochemistry and immunology, but there may also be opportunities to gain insight into other parts of the laboratory's functions.

We work with high professional quality, patient safety and ongoing improvement of our workflows.

Working hours and on-call system

The working week is 40 hours, and the normal working time is 07:30–15:30.

After a thorough training period you will join the department's on-call system. The training is arranged according to your competences and experiences, so you are well equipped to carry out the tasks independently.

A new job – and perhaps a new chapter in life

Moving to Greenland is more than changing jobs. It is also the opportunity to experience another everyday life, meet new people and become part of a society with its own culture and identity.

Nuuk is a modern capital with cafés, restaurants, cultural offerings and an active association life. At the same time the magnificent Greenlandic nature is right outside the door.

Here your leisure time can offer anything from hiking in the mountains and boat trips on the fjord to skiing, fishing and cozy moments with new friends.

And you do not need to be an experienced outdoor enthusiast to feel at home. There are many ways to create a good life in Nuuk.

We hope you will feel inspired to experience both the workplace, the city and Greenland.
