We are looking for a BMA/Laboratory Technician to strengthen our team – someone who isn’t afraid of parasites.
The Diagnostic Center for Parasitology is a department at the Institute of Parasitology at the University of Zurich and examines stool, blood, and tissue samples from humans and animals for parasites. We use microscopic, serological, and molecular methods.
We offer
- Exciting tasks in the diverse fields of parasitological diagnostics
- A wide range of poorly automated examination procedures and constantly new diagnostic questions.
- Regular working hours, without late or weekend shifts
- A thorough introduction to two specialist areas: secure training in microscopy (stool), and, depending on current needs, in serology or PCR diagnostics.
- A small, collegial team with short communication channels
The position is paid hourly and offers considerable flexibility. We would be happy to explain more about this alternative employment model. Salary is based on the Zurich cantonal salary system. The university offers various benefits in the areas of food, sports, and telephone service.
Tasks
- Independent performance of diagnostic examinations
- Receipt and assessment of examination material and data collection
- Result recording and report preparation
- Co-supervision of students and academic guests
profile
- Completed training as a BMA HF or laboratory technician EFZ
- Good German skills
- They are team players, but also independent and reliable.
- They have no qualms about handling stool samples.
It is important to us to find someone who not only fits in with us personally and in terms of character, but also wants to become a long-term part of our team.
