Would you like to try something new, use your professional skills in other settings and gain experiences you can take with you in life?

Then a temporary position at the Central Laboratory at Queen Ingrids Hospital, in Nuuk, could be for you.

We are seeking bioanalysts for short and longer temporary contracts, minimum three months duration, where you get the opportunity to combine an exciting professional workload with a life in Greenland's capital.

Whether you are an experienced bioanalyst wanting a break from the familiar or a recent graduate curious about new opportunities, we would love to hear from you.

And even if you perhaps only stay with us for a limited period of at least three months, we want you to feel like part of the team.

For us a temporary worker is not just an extra hand. You are a new colleague whom we look forward to getting to know.

Working hours and on-call scheme

The workweek is 40 hours, and the regular working hours are 07:30–15:30.

After training you will join the department's on-call scheme.

For shorter temporary contracts you will only be included in aid shifts, while the on-call scheme for longer temporary contracts will be agreed closer to time.

The training is planned according to your competencies and previous experience.

Experience Greenland – not only as a tourist, but as part of everyday life

A temporary position in Nuuk gives you something quite special: the opportunity to experience Greenland from within.

Here you can go to work, get to know new colleagues and at the same time use your spare time to explore a part of the world that many only dream of visiting.

Nuuk offers a lively city life with cafés, restaurants, culture and leisure activities. And just outside the city, mountains, fjords and a nature that changes with the seasons await.

Maybe you dream of seeing the Northern Lights, sailing on the fjord, hiking in the mountains or simply feeling how everyday life feels in a place completely different from home.

You do not need to be an adventurer to take the plunge. Curiosity and the desire for new experiences are a good place to start.

And who knows? Maybe you will become so fond of life in Greenland that you want to stay longer.
