As a family man, I appreciate the strong focus on healthy work-life balance at Genevia. As for living in Tampere, I really enjoy the easy access to the beautiful Finnish nature and services such as high-quality child care and education.
Bioinformatics careers
We like to think that there's no better place for science savvy people to be than at the forefront of both research and product development.
How would you feel publishing ground-breaking science one day, and developing life-changing biotech products using that same science the next? We offer a unique viewpoint into everything that's happening in life sciences today, and endless opportunities to challenge yourself while working with leading global companies and research groups. Sounds cool, right? We certainly think so.
Living in Finland
If high quality of life is what you are looking for, you've come to the right place. Finland ranks number one in Best country for expats, Employee-friendly working hours, Skill development at work, Greenest country in the world, and not to mention the Happiest country in the world.
As a worker in Finland, reliable and extensive welfare benefits, including our National Health Insurance, enable you to fully concentrate on your work, and on your free time, without having to worry about your well-being. Low corruption and low hierarchies at workplaces attract technological innovation and international talent in Finnish companies, and there's no need for learning our language -- we all speak English here!
To make sure you have the best possible work-life balance, our national labour laws ensure you get plenty of paid holidays, and that you are covered with paid sick leave as well. You and your loved ones will enjoy living in a clean and safe environment with access to free high-quality education and affordable child care among other perks that our not-that-high taxes will provide.

Working in Tampere
Tampere used to be the main heavy industrial hub of Finland that shed its skin to become a bustling ICT hub filled with engineers and other highly educated professionals with English widely spoken everywhere.
Today, Tampere is the second largest urban hub in Finland with metro area population of around 400 000 people, yet with affordable housing available in the city centre, suburbs or the rural countryside. Tampere University and the other local academic institutions cater to more than 30 000 college level students making Tampere a youthful and energetic place to study, work and have fun.
The city center is lodged on a narrow isthmus between two beautiful lakes, and forested ridges meander throughout the peaceful suburbs before turning into fields and forests peppered with hundreds of smaller lakes. The ubiquitous Finnish lakeland district nature combined with pronounced seasons provide ample opportunities to relax by hiking and swimming in summer and by sking and skating in winter, all within a walking distance from wherever you decide to live. Yes, really. Finding your perfect work life balance here is easy; and whenever you need an extra boost, there are more than 30 public saunas to choose from in the sauna capital of the world.
