Do you want to contribute to better health for everyone?

At Karolinska Institutet, there are 21 independent departments and a centrally organised joint support service. The departments conduct world-class research and education. To support researchers and teachers, each department has its own administration.

This position is located at the Department of Oncology and Pathology and here you will be part of a group of committed, happy and competent colleagues who will be there to support you in getting into the business.

There is currently a need among some research groups within the Department of Oncology and Pathology to receive administrative support in addition to what is normally included in the assignment of the administration at the department. The administrator is intended to be seen as part of the research group, even if the employment and physical placement are located in the administrative group.

Your mission

• Approve invoices
• Administer conferences, courses and summer courses
• Support with bookings of hotels, trips, etc. for potential guests
• Produce balance reports and assist with financial follow-up
• Be able to support in which grants can be used for different types of costs
• Support for managers regarding extension of employment/scholarship in the group in contact with the department's HR function
• Administrative support for research applications
