The Department of Primary Care Medicine (DMPR) has the societal mission to provide access to quality care for all through proximity medicine, to ensure the management of minor medical and surgical emergencies, to promote prevention among citizens, to provide medical knowledge for judicial investigations, and to promote the health of travelers.

Through the versatility of its skills, the Romand University Center of Forensic Medicine (CURML) is tasked with responding to all requests for expertise or advisory assistance in the medico-legal field, medical law, and doping analysis. Located in the Lake Geneva region, its area of competence operates at regional, national, and international levels.

Job Description

Your activity as a technician in forensic medical radiology (TRMF) is based at the CURML in Geneva and at the CHUV in Lausanne. You must be able to work mainly on the Geneva site, but travel to the Lausanne site is expected. You perform routine examinations carried out at the CURML (conventional radiography, CT scan, angio-CT, MRI) and have an interest in training in 3D surface scan examinations and photogrammetry.

In the context of post-mortem angiographies, you autonomously perform delegated medical procedures such as biopsies, biological fluid sampling (blood, urine, vitreous humor...), and gas sampling on bodies.

You may be required to attend national and international conferences and give oral presentations in English, among other languages. You must also be pedagogical given the large number of students, notably TRM students, within the CURML.

Qualifications

You hold a HES-SO Bachelor’s degree as a medical radiology technician or an equivalent qualification. If your diploma comes from a foreign country, you have obtained recognition from the Swiss Red Cross and your diploma is registered in the National Health Professions Register (NaReg).

Proficiency in English, both spoken and written, is desired.

Several years of experience in clinical radiology are required, as well as experience in CT scan and MRI.

Experience in conventional radiology and/or post-mortem imaging would be an asset.

A team spirit, cooperation, and initiative are essential. You must be able to handle a heavy psychological burden with daily contact with corpses, involving manipulations and performing invasive technical procedures on the body. You must also be able to cope with the emotional burden, stress, and discomfort related to the thanatological environment (condition of altered and/or mutilated bodies with consequences notably olfactory and/or visual).

You have basic knowledge of forensic sciences or are willing to train in its fundamentals before starting your role. You are available evenings, weekends, and public holidays in case of emergency. Flexibility in terms of time and work organization is essential.

You must respect the absolute confidentiality required by medico-legal cases, subject to professional secrecy and judicial investigation (homicide, media cases, etc.).
