We provide specialized psychiatric care focusing on memory-related diseases, neuropsychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, psychiatry for the deaf and hard of hearing, psychiatry for patients with eating disorders, psychiatry for patients with intellectual disabilities, and patients with Huntington's disease.

Here, you have the opportunity to provide care centered on the individual's needs, seeing patients in our inpatient care and via a mobile team in the patients' home environments. This is a rewarding and exciting assignment where you can truly make a difference for our elderly, vulnerable patients. The ability to solve problems and think innovatively is essential in this work. Our ambition is to develop and care for the elderly individual in the best possible way and provide healthcare that we can all be proud of.

The area is research-intensive, and Ingmar Skoog and Silke Kern are just a few examples of our distinguished professors who truly put our patient group on the map, offering incredible opportunities to engage with exciting research.

The role also includes accompanying the Mobile Team on home visits.

We are currently seeking non-licensed or licensed doctors for our acute psychiatric ward 81/82, which collaborates with our mobile geriatric psychiatry team. As a doctor within the department, you will be part of our primary on-call line, which involves the House Duty at SU/S, the Psychiatry Emergency at SU/Ö, and the Reintegration Unit at SU/Ö.

The position is a temporary assignment for 6 months with a possibility of extension.
