Specialist Physician in Oncology – Blood and Tumor Diseases Department

We are Akademiska sjukhuset – one of Sweden's leading university hospitals. As a county hospital and provider of highly specialized care, we offer healthcare to two million people in Central Sweden. Something is always happening here – a new life is born, a grandmother undergoes surgery, a colleague is hailed as a hero. Here, you will experience both tough trials and fantastic events, within a strong community of colleagues. We welcome your application!

Our Operations

The Blood and Tumor Diseases Department is housed in the new healthcare building, entrance 100/101 on Dag Hammarskjölds väg. The department features modern facilities with single rooms, new information and communication technology systems, as well as separated professional and public flows. The new building is equipped with the latest medical technology, including Sweden's first MR-linac, which combines a linear accelerator with imaging diagnostics. The new construction provides us with new opportunities to co-locate the Blood and Tumor Diseases Department together with the Imaging and Functional Medical Center, creating new collaboration opportunities with significant potential patient benefit.

Your Role

As a specialist physician within the Blood and Tumor Diseases Department, you will work within the Oncology Section. Your duties will consist of work in both outpatient and inpatient care. The section consists of two inpatient wards, an investigation ward, a treatment ward, and an oncology clinic. The section's physicians also staff the department's radiation therapy unit. Research activity is high, and there is also a dedicated clinical research and development unit within the operations.

With proximity to the university, opportunities open up for you to participate in research and development within your field. Even though the hospital is large, the distance between our different specialist areas is never far. Here, you also have the opportunity to develop through stimulating meetings with colleagues and patients, as well as through supervising medical students. Together, we create a challenging and developing workplace where freedom under responsibility is a given.

Your Qualifications

Region Uppsala values the qualities that equal gender distribution and diversity bring to the operations and welcomes applicants of all genders and with different birth backgrounds, functionalities, and life experiences.

Region Uppsala mobilizes all permanent staff based on the needs of the total defense. This entails no obligations for the individual employee in peacetime but is solely a planning measure.

Before a decision on employment, checks of suspicion and criminal records are conducted for all job seekers who, in the sought employment, may come to work within psychiatric care, habilitation, care of children and youth, or compulsory care of addicts, areas covered by optional record extracts. This thus applies to all who will work close to patients, even if the tasks at present are not intended to mainly contain work with the aforementioned patient groups.

This recruitment is conducted entirely through Region Uppsala, and we decline phone calls from recruitment agencies and advertising sales.
