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.

Would you like to work at one of the brightest lightsources in the world?

MAX IV is looking for an experienced Laboratory Technician to join the Support Labs team.

A key focus of the role is to ensure that chemicals and laboratory supplies required for experiments are available, correctly registered, safely stored, and appropriately prepared and delivered.

You will support the daily operations of the Support Labs and work closely with group managers, laboratory staff, beamline teams, and users on chemical management, laboratory safety, and risk assessments. This is a hands-on technical role with a strong focus on chemical management, laboratory operations, user support, and training.

The needs and priorities of our laboratories can vary depending on ongoing experiments and user activities. We are therefore looking for someone who is flexible, service-minded, and comfortable working in a dynamic environment, while maintaining a structured approach and consistently following established laboratory and safety practices.
