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

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.
