The Department for Reproductive Medicine at Oslo University Hospital, Norway, is seeking one full time embryologist for a permanent position. Start date is flexible, but an early start date is preferred.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a large public IVF clinic at the University Hospital of Oslo.
