New Job
Posted in Uncategorized with tags job, oncolex, university of oslo on August 24, 2009 by Øystein
As the Oncolex project now is finished, after 4 years of exciting work, I’ve been keeping my eyes open for job openings.
This week I got a job I’ve applied for and wanted badly! So from November I’ll be working as a medical photographer at the University of Oslo’s Faculty of Medicine.
I’m looking forward to broadening my scope, working with other diagnoses than cancer, new colleagues and a new location. This of course also means lots of new raw material for the blog!
